The starting point of the Camino Frances. Many pilgrims start from here and are so excited that they can't really enjoy the beautiful town.

The French feeder route Via Podiensis ends in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. The most famous Way of St. James, the Camino Francés, starts here. The suffix explains what the pilgrims can expect: Pied de Port means “at the foot of the pass”. From here, the Camino Francés leads 25 kilometers over the ridge of the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles in Spain. The pilgrims also follow in the footsteps of Charlemagne, who in 778 reached Spain over the Ibañeta Pass (Puerto de Ibañeta or Col de Roncevaux) at an altitude of 1,057 meters during his campaign. It doesn't get colder than up there at the top of the pass on the entire Way of St. James.
