Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is an old fortified town in the French Basque Country, in historic Lower Navarre. Along the river Nive stand stone houses, a citadel and the Gothic church of the Assumption by the town gate.
For centuries pilgrims heading to the tomb of Saint James passed through here. Today many begin the Camino Francés in this town: they collect their credential at the pilgrim office and the next day set out across the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles on the Spanish side.
The nearest larger city is Bayonne, linked by a local railway. The mountain crossing on the Napoleon Route may be closed or dangerous in winter; the Valcarlos variant is then recommended. Before travelling, check the current notices of the pilgrim office and the weather forecast.
