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.

A gate in the middle of the old town next to the church "Notre-Dame du Bout du Pont" where there was also a pilgrims' hospital. It is the parish church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary / Église Paroissiale de l'Assomption de la Vierge.

Ultreia! The pilgrim must go through here. Very atmospheric old town and this gate by the river behind which the church portal welcomes the pilgrim is old and venerable.
