@mspath I think that Mme Jeanine Curuchet and Mme Jeanne Debril are two different ladies. Fairly sure that Mme Debril died many years ago.Here we are January 23, 2009.

Imagine the outrage and screams of injustice if she was on duty today. The presumptuous old harpy JUDGED peoples' caminos!!Unthinkable!
We could create a POH Award, or strike a medal...certainly there should be T shirts.

Well, since we all carry around our own internalized (and unique) ideas about those are, you can choose for yourself, @Kanga! But mum's the word, lest someone else takes umbrage and decides to pick a fight.We may have to start a new thread. I want to know the judging criteria. So I can make sure my next camino complies.
But perhaps they should on me.No one could set up in judgement on you dear.

I know without a doubt that my reaction to Madame Debril's off quoted abrasive demeanour would have elicited an at least equaly vociferous response.
My blood boils quickly, much too quickly according to some, when injustice or even the more simple 'rudeness' is perceived.
Hello Everyone,
I am in SJPDP staying in Maison E Bernat and somewhere in my fuzzy memory is a story about Madam Bernat who people had to go to and explain why they were walking to Santiago and she would determine if you were a true pilgrim or not.
I'm sure I don't have the story correct or even the whole story. Would someone please fill in the blanks or head me in the right direction, please? I have tried Gooling it, but no success.
Thanks, Buen Camino.
I had the pleasure of meeting her and being vetted by her. She was intimidating and definitely a guard of the camino. She would have pilgrims waiting at her apartment for her. All the pilgrims had letters from churches or credential from the Confraternity of St James. Not us Americans, so she made us wait for last. As we stood in her studio apartment that was quite small but full if books and small church paraphernalia she asked serious questions. We are not church people however we were more if a spiritual walker and she was skeptical. I had paid an American group called friends of America that was taking money for credentials that were never sent, lucky that I had the print outs with the info. My mother and I at 22 and 42 started a journey that most new very little. Both our credentials have her signatureHello Everyone,
