What a beautiful retreat from a busy world! Marie-Josée welcomed us to her B and B, a large home with private rooms and ensuite bathroom, on a large lot just a half block from the gate Into St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. She has a lovely, well-tended garden to sit in and has homemade jams from her persimmon tree for breakfast. Marie-Josée speaks English perfectly, and spent quality time with us sharing her maps so we could experience a beautiful hike in the mountains, as well as details about the town. What a wonderful experience—I cannot wait to return!
