350086 4 Location 497908 <p>Great little refuge; good hearty food, dinner and breakfast included; VERY REASONABLE at €30! full service bar serving sandwiches and soups, in addition to the two meals provided to guests.<br /></p><p>This friendly auberge is located along the Chemin St. Jacques, on the leg of the chemin that crosses the Pyrenees along the "Route Napoleon."&nbsp; I had walked 8K almost straight uphill, and was beginning to worry about the next 17K over the mountains, when the Auberge Orisson came into view.&nbsp; I stopped and was glad of it.&nbsp;<br /></p><p>There are 3 rooms of 6 beds each (3 bunk sets) and well as tents out back that sleep two to a tent.&nbsp; The tents are set up on wooden platforms, so there is no ground contact, and contain two mattresses about 4 inches (about 10cm) thick.&nbsp; The tents were comfortable and, thankfully, fully waterproof.&nbsp;<br /></p><p>There are two bathrooms: one ladies and one men's room; each has two showers that, like most hostels and auberges, have timed water jets.&nbsp; But the showers are clean and the hot water is hot.&nbsp;<br /></p> 2007-06-02T03:44:37-07:00 570427006 2007-05-30T17:00:00-07:00 0 18 137226 4672172 350086 0 177906 0.0253852454539185 2007-05-30T17:00:00-07:00 Published 10.0 WONDERFUL RESPITE 2007-07-10T22:11:14-07:00 97199 0
