For those walking the Napoleon route. There is a food truck located at the top of the route, 1km from the border on French side. Hot cocoa, coffee, cold drinks, some food. Also, the water fountain is working 1km past border on Spanish side. Also, the Spanish side has two SOS emergency push button kiosks on the route, extremely well marked.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Thank you for the update. It is nice of you to take the time to look out for other Pilgrims.

Further clarification on location of the food truck - it is usually parked approximately eight kilometers after Orisson, or about 16 kilometers from SJPP. It is run by the gracious Michele and his son Sebastian. My favorite thing about that stop is that they sell sheep's cheese from their farm - yum! And they also have the last stamp in France for your credencial.

Enjoy!

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.
That food truck guy was there last year too :D I got a stamp from him and we had coffee in the damp fog.
 
Yep. He's there.
