You would be on the Vezelay route, so you can find accommodations in Sauveterre de Bearn, Saint Palais, Larribar, Uhart, and Ostabat.

It wasn't clear from your post whether you would be hiking or travelling by car but St Palais (Basque country as opposed to other St Palais in France) has a place called La Maison d'Arthezenea and looks to be about half way between Orthez and SJPdeP. Its a chambre d'hôte and had great reviews on trip advisor. Its listed in the Miam Miam Dodo for the Le Puy Route (map 83)..... Haven't stayed there myself but it'd be an option. There are a few more chambre d'hôtes listed as well as hotels... The postcode is 64120 if that helps with your search online...

I stayed Sauveterre-de-Bearn and Ostabat in 2010.

Irishgurrrl! We are walking but I'm finding it very difficult getting info on the french side of the Camino. We arrive Tues afternoon in Biarritz and will travel to Othez. It seems as if the le Puy route might have more places to stay than the Vezeley Camino ? Any thoughts ?

There are gites for the last stages, sometimes between the end points. Chambre d'hote are more common than gites. If you go to Navarennx from Orthez, you will be on the Chemin du Puy.
