Sending luggage to St Jean Pied de Port

[rossfamcan]

My husband and I are intending to walk from Le Puy to St Jean Pied de Port next year. We would like to be able to send a suitcase of non-hiking clothes to St Jean Pied de Port as we intend to travel through France after our walk. Has anyone any advice as to how we could do this and where we could find storage for the 5 weeks we think it will take us to walk?
Advice would be very much appreciated. :?

We walked this year in June and July and had a wonderful time.
Carry on luggage on departure , a suitcase on return.
We arrived in Biarritz after the walk to relax and get the body ok and went shopping..
The Fuhrer was not satisified and decided she needed more in Paris before we came home.
Please dont get too carried away with dress code in europe.
Once they know you have walked the GR65 appearances mean nothing and you will be very surprised at the casual attire throughout europe, especially in summer.
Have a great Camino

I would use one of the transport companies bringing luggage along the way. I sent a couple of packets from France by the post that never showed up. One from Le Puy to Santiago and one from the post office in St. Alban-sur-Limagnole to my homeadress in Norway. In the last town I shared sleepingplace with a German man who sent his luggage with one of the luggagebringing companies. He picked up his luggage in St. Jean. Cost a bit but the postfares was not so cheap either, think I paid 26 euros for the packet that did not arrive in Norway. I will never send packets from France anymore. The best is not to carry more than you need and rather buy something in Santiago if you have to.
