SAINT-JEAN-DE-PIED-DE-PORT (DONIBANE GARAZI, in Basque, literally Saint-Jean Engrâce). ORPUSTAN very clearly explains how the name of the patron saint of the present town of Saint-Jean-le-Vieux was transferred to the new town established in the late l2th and early l3th centuries by the Kings of Navarre (Pamplona), who made it their (administrative and military) capital in "Lower Navarre". It is still the capital city of the "Basse-Navarre" province today. A little over 1,400 inhabitants (Saint-Jeannais). The banks of the River Nive, superb views, and the remains of its past are its claims to fame.
