SFASJC at the Forum Nantais des chemins

For the 1st time this year, SFASJC was present at the Forum Nantais des Chemins on February 28 and March 1, represented by Lydie Dobin, Elisabeth Thébault, Benoit Moritz and Monique Jacob. We were welcomed by Anthony Grouard, President of Haltes pèlerines, the association organizing the event.

The Forum was held at La Manufacture, near Nantes’ SNCF train station.

On Friday evening, a conference by Sonia and Alexandre Poussin was offered to participants in the large and beautiful conference room of the Manufacture. This “adventurous” couple captivated the audience.

Our stand was right next to the Web Compostella stand, and we were delighted to be next to Philippe Chauveau, the president, accompanied by his wife.

We were delighted to note that the revival of the Chemin de Saint Jacques initiated by SFASJC now extends to other routes: associations from the Chemins de Saint Michel, Saint Urbain, Sainte Agathe, Sainte Marie-Madeleine, as well as the Ligeria and Francigena routes, were all present. Switzerland and Ireland were also present.

Some fifty volunteers ensured that the event went off without a hitch.
