We stayed with Marie Helene and Franck the night before we started El Camino and we could not have asked for kinder, more gracious hosts. Franck picked us up at the bus stop and helped us get to the Pilgrims’ Office, offering helpful recommendations for dinner and pointing out the route we’d take the following morning along the way. Marie Helene helped welcome us when we got to their lovely home, where we had a great night’s sleep. They kindly accommodated our planned start time so we could have breakfast before taking off, and what a delicious breakfast it was! Marie Helene also thoughtfully packed us sandwiches for the road, as well as a couple extra crepes Franck had made. So good! Staying with Marie Helene and Franck was the perfect way to start our path on El Camino, and if we find ourselves in St. Jean again, we will definitely stay with them again!
