Pat,

In SJPdP do go to the pilgrim office of the Amis du Chemin de Saint Jacques at 39 rue de la Citadelle; they usually stay open for the arrival of the last train. Their telephone is 05 59 37 05 09. In season the pilgrims office is generally open from 7h30 to 12h30 and then from 13h30 to 22h. They can provide a Credential and on site lodging assistance. Their volunteers help run the albergue at 55 rue de la Citadelle. Recently renovated this is a fine place to stay, but they do NOT take reservations. If their albergue is full they will help you find other pilgrim lodgings when you are on site. They keep up to the minute lists of available space throughout the SJPdP area.

Bon chemin and Buen camino,

Margaret Meredith

With your credential you will be admitted to all albergues regardless of where you get you first stamp. It is nice to have a stamp in SJPdP but not a requirement.
