We stayed two nights with Melanie in her great old basque house that she lovingly shares with guests. There is plenty of privacy with a large sitting area upstairs. The views are beautiful. Melanie picked us up from the station and gave us a tour of St Jean. Melanie also pointed out the Pilgrims office and a great sandwich shop. Fresh croissants and juice for breakfast. We had a lovely walk back from town via her local church which is worthy of a visit. I can highly recommend this as a pre starter for the Camino.
