Sleeping bag and Poles in SJPP

Daniel Crowe said:

Hi all,
I'm leaving for the Frances tomorrow and I'm wondering about the cost of a sleeping bag and poles in the Saint Jean outdoor store. I have a sleeping bag but it's a bit bulky and I'm going back and forth on whether to bring it. If the cost of the equipment in SJ makes sense then I'd leave it behind and get it there.
Anyone who has bought there recently I'd love to hear from you.

Thank you!

This may be too late for the OP but for those going to SJPdP and wish to have their items (poles, knives, sleeping bags etc.) purchased in France, Amazon has implented lockers for free delivery through Amazon dot Fr. I used the lockers last year on the GR65 Podensis and it works well. Just expect a week to delivery.

The closest location to the old part of St Jean is at LP - PRESS HOUSE 23 PLACE CHARLES DE GAULLE, ST JEAN PIED DE PORT, 64220. This location has 7 days access although Sundays is only in the morning until noon. Also available at the Carrefour in St Jean Monday through Saturday.

You need to log in and order from the Amazon France website and search and register the Amazon locker to your account.

I am working in SJPdP now. They have a wide selection of poles. These are the Leki. They also have some cheaper poles for between 10-20 euro per pole.
