while we had an amazing time walking the Camino i would just like to mention a very unpleasant experience we encountered on our travels. Every Auberge/hostel we stayed in was amazing apart from one hostel in St Jean... The name was "SUR LE CHEMIN AU CHANT DU COQ", I feel a little bad mentioning it here but really feel that fellow pilgrims should avoid staying here. The owner was most abusvive. On arrival we were told by her son that the price would be 15 Euros between us. The owner came into the room for payment after we had taken a shower and we explained that we thought it was 15 E between us. She said that it was 15 Euros each. By this time I had given her 15 euros and she was unwilling to return it. We explained very diplomatically that will have to leave. She started shouting saying "don't you like my house!" and "you will remember me". We found the whole incident most unpleasant and we really felt that she was blatantly trying to exploit Pilgrims. Just a word of warning be careful!
Hate to be negative about what was such an amazing experience but think fellow travellers should be warned.
