Sending luggage to St Jean's

I walked the Le Puy route and had my sister (in Canada) send my guidebook for the Camino Frances to the SJPP post office a few weeks before I got to SJPP, Poste Restante (64220 St Jean Pied-de-Port). All I had to do is go to the post office and show my passport to get my small package. I don't remember paying, but I've read you have to pay 0.46 euros.

However, I believe they only hold mail for a month. But I can't remember where I read that--so I could be wrong. The Confraternity of Saint James has the postal code and information on how to address Poste Restante mail here.

Sorry this isn't all that helpful (unless you can have someone else send your luggage later?). I'm sure someone else will have more information for you.

Bon chemin!

To be on the safe side, you could post it to a place somewhere in the middle - collect it from there and then post it to St Jean.

Hi,

These companies can carry your luggage from Le Puy to St-Jean :

... Book an accomodation in an "Auberge" / "Hotel" at St-Jean and ask them the possibility to keep your luggage ?
