Climbing into the Pyrenees from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, the first stretch to Orisson was a humid, unrelenting ascent. But beyond the mist, sunlight broke through, revealing green pastures dotted with cows, horses, sheep, and even a few wandering pigs. Their quiet presence and the distant sound of bells made the climb feel almost timeless — a gentle reminder of the rhythm of mountain life.

My Camino Francés journey began under grey skies in Paris and a rain-soaked Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Amid excitement and nerves, I collected my pilgrim passport, met fellow travellers, and embraced the sense of community that makes the Camino truly unforgettable.
