Hello everyone.

Planning to the Le Puy route in 2025. We heard there is a track connecting Saint-Palais to Bayonne and are interested in taking that to continue to the Norte. I can't find any info on it. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance and Buen Camino to those out walking!

Hi Cathy - take a look at this map. It looks to me like there is a path from St Palais that joins the Chemin de Poste in Helette. I've included the link to the website. I have to say I find the website a little tricky to navigate, but @Monasp on the forum is Manager of the Pilgrims' Office in SJPP and active in the Amis du Chemin group is very helpful. If she doesn't see the thread, you could send her a PM.

Bayonne is a lovely starting point for the Norte among other paths. I can highly recommend the gite/albergue in Bayonne - Refuge Saint Jacques. @Monasp can also provide contact details. They accept bookings.

PS. If you are staying in Aroue the night before St Palais, I can also highly recommend the wonderful Ferme Gite Bohoteguia where you'll be welcome by Simone and family.

Hello Cathy
In 2015 I left the GR 65 at St. Palais and followed the route to Hendaye which was reasonably well marked but I'm sure that 9 years later it will be better. I walked part of it with an older couple who were walking home to Normandy !
It is a lovely walk through the foothills of the Pyrenees and you get a close up and personal experience of the French Basques food, villages and culture. I loved it.
