A pilgrim reports:

1. There is still a small (4 bed) municipal gîte at Maslacq.

2. There is currently no gîte in Uzan (the existing one may be closed for renovations).

The refuge at St Palais (formerly run by the Franciscans)

Word is that the refuge is open again (July 2007): more information welcome!

Walking the Valcarlos route:

We have had a report that pilgrims are discouraged from walking the Varlos route by the pilgrim office in St Jean-Pied de-Port, and this account of a pilgrim's recent experience explains why!
