アインシールのおすすめランニングルート

As you hike, approach the Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port gate for a truly historic experience. This iconic entrance, known as the Porte Saint-Jacques, welcomes you with its impressive stone arch. Take time to admire the gate’s old-world charm and the stunning views of the surrounding Basque countryside before exploring the cobbled streets of this picturesque town.

A steep climb to start the first leg of the Route Napoléon from St Jean Pied-de-Port, but the superb views over the valley are a good reward. The Route Napoléon (Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Roncesvalles) is closed between November and March.

Magical place, one of my favorite French villages

Super beautiful! It is quite a climb (19 km) but worth it.

It is a typical small village in Iparralde, right next to the main town Sant-Jean-Pied-Port-de-Port. There is nothing special about it, but if you pass by it, you should enjoy it. There is a nice fountain in the centre of the village.

Big climb on the first day, but worth it for the views and the sense of satisfaction on reaching the albergue

Nice church in the centre of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, and well worth a visit at the start of your camino

A great old fortress to explore with fabulous views towards the mountains
