Wonderful Gîte Le Chalet du Pèlerin run by former cooking teacher Jean-Claude D. Not only were the meals outstanding but he keeps the true spirit of the Camino alive.

Jean-Claude demonstrated a game. The object is to blow an apricot size rock as far as you can. The rock shot 30 feet from his mouth!
Jean-Claude tromping in German Meindle boots. I wore Meindle boots my first 1,000 mile Camino.
Community dinner. Superb.
I remembered this walking shop from ten years ago. I bought a pair of Gortex Meindle boots. My feet are happier as they have been wet a good deal.
