St Jean Pied de Port

After a very nice train ride in first class on the upper deck from Paris I arrived in St Jean Pied de Port. It's a lot warmer here than it was in Paris where it was cold any rainy.

First day of walking. Just a short day, but the steepest on the entire Camino Francés. Gorgeous scenery in the Pyrenees on the way to Refuge Orisson.
It was a misty and cold day. Unfortunately, visibility was poor, so I couldn't see the beautiful Pyrenees. But it was a fairly easy walk.
Walked 27 km today with a very steep downhill section, which my right knee decided it didn't like. 😕
A lot of the walk was through beautiful forest paths.
I'll do a short day into PamplonaMeer informatie
I'm happy to report that my knee didn't give me much trouble today. Of course there were no brutal downhill sections to walk, so that helped. And the fact that it was only about a ten mile walk today.
Took a detour today to visit this small romanesque church which was built in 1170.
