Bidarray / Nobilia

Highlight • Other

We had lunch in the small, simple inn in August 2019 when we drove past. In July 2022 we stopped again by bike.
Here the old pilgrimage route crosses the Nive on a small bridge.
A SNCF stop allows you to avoid the 18km road to/from St Jean Pied de Port. We drove it towards the sea on a Sunday and experienced little traffic.

Col de Gastangarte

Highlight • Other

Pass between Eyheralde and Bidarray. Some very steep climbs, but still a very worthwhile route away from any long-distance traffic.

Porte Notre-Dame

Highlight • Other

the obligatory passage on the Way of Compostela, the Notre Dame gate is a beautiful tower in the fortress of Saint Jean Pied de Port. Walk through the door and you will find yourself in another world, another atmosphere of bygone times, a dive into the Middle Ages, all the houses of the old town bear witness to it.

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is a must-see village in the Basque Country.
Nestled at the confluence of the Nives rivers, the medieval city is located at the crossroads of the roads serving the Basque Country.


The city has a relatively rich historical and architectural heritage. Notably, there is a medieval enclosure consisting of an imposing wall with four large gates. In its heart, you will find several artisans offering many local products.

The medieval city also owes its fame to the Camino de Santiago which crosses it. An emblematic stage of this trail, the village welcomes many of its pilgrims throughout the year.

At the foot of the Basque mountains, in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, life is good, take the time to stroll through its alleys, to eat on its various terraces, or to rest in the many guesthouses found there.

Gîte Makila Pilgrims' Hostel

A very well-equipped information office for pilgrims, run by volunteers. Pilgrims get (almost) everything they need to start their pilgrimage here. Sometimes there is also time for a cozy chat and an exchange of personal experiences. The office lives on donations from pilgrims.
