Breakfast in St Jean

A selection of Camino Jewellery
Yes.
You can either eat at Orisson, get food at your albergue (some will pack you a breakfast for next day), or buy food in town at the several markets to take with you.

Is it possible to get an early breakfast in St jean in late May.
How early is 'early'? I found a boulangerie (bakery) that opened at 6:30am (heavenly croissants and other delectable treats) and a couple of bars open by 8:30am, all in the center of town. There is a shop and a boulangerie directly on the street you walk out of town on - the shop probably opens later, but I suspect the bakery will be serving pilgrims by 8:00am.

If you stay at one of the gites or refuges, they will likely have a breakfast option - ask when you check in.

My standard Camino breakfast plan is to pick up some fruit and yogurt at the store the night before and then stop at the first open bar for a coffee. But in SJPP the croissants are too good to pass up!

Orisson will have food, but it's eight steep kms away, and I personally can't do that climb on an empty stomach or without the psychological comfort of my morning hot beverage.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
