Hi. I am seeking information about parking in st. jean pied de port, while I am walking to Pamplona. Can any one tell me if it is safe to leave the car for some days? where to park ik? a good camp site maybe? How much it would cost?

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
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.
I wouldn't park in StJdP at present. One of the 900 Pilgrims held there may use it in an escape attempt. However, should you decide that you want to take the risk this link http://www.espritduchemin.org/en/node/141 may assist.
Tincatinker, hilarious! Great tie in to a current thread.
Stumpen, there are several 2 and 3 star hotel in SJPdP, I would start by asking them about car storage. Most of the parking in town is in open lots, some spaces are metered. I don't remember ever seeing a private lot there. The Pilgrim Office might also have answers because many of the volunteers who come to work there probably drove there and have long term parking needs.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Thanks for your answers :D If anyone els has experience in parking their car there, I would love to hear! :)
