Le Chemin vers l'Étoile : Pilgrims' gîte in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port
Welcome to gîte Le Chemin vers l'Étoile, your ideal refuge in the heart of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (64). We are the last essential stopover on the Chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle before Spain, at the crossroads of GR 10.
Hosted by Eric, former pilgrim, we offer a warm and friendly welcome. Reception is from 4pm to 11pm. To make your walk easier, you can leave your bag in the secure corridor behind reception before 4pm.
Our accommodation offers solutions tailored to pedestrians and hikers: communal dormitories (8 to 10 people) or private cabins (2 to 4 people).
A sleeping bag is strongly recommended.
For an early start, self-service breakfast is available from 5.30am.
There is also a fully-equipped kitchenette for preparing your evening meal.

History of the Gîte
A consecration to the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela
After travelling the Chemin de Compostelle in 2007, Eric Viotte took over the gîte du Chemin vers l'Étoile in 2009 to welcome pèlerins and randonneurs.
Since then, more than 80,000 visitors from all over the world have shared this place in a spirit of simplicity and conviviality. Today, Eric continues to manage the gîte, which opens its doors to you for stays in dormitories or private boxes, on your own, with your family or in a group.
