Rue de la Citadelle descending from my hotel. Pyrenees in the distance.

Rue de la Citadelle ascending from the hotel, with the queue for the pilgrim’s office.

The famed Porte Notre Dame, under which pilgrims have walked for centuries.

Just beyond the Porte Notre Dame flows the Rive Béhérobie.

These aren’t much like American hotel keys!
