Société Française des Amis de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle
La plus ancienne de toutes les associations jacquaires – depuis 1950
A videoconference with Hervé de Lantivy and Alain Soleilhac
(hosted by Margaux Assier de Pompignan and Gaële de La Brosse, journalists with the weekly Le Pèlerin)
For many pilgrims, the roads to Santiago de Compostela are an invitation to overcome life’s trials and tribulations. It was in this spirit that one-legged Hervé de Lantivy and visually-impaired Alain Soleilhac set off on their pilgrimage.
Last March, Hervé de Lantivy set off from Sainte-Anne-d’Auray (Morbihan) to walk to Santiago de Compostela. His motivation? A vow taken on the operating table, before losing his left leg.
As for Alain Soleilhac, even though his eyesight was deteriorating further, he completed the Puy-en-Velay route and the Camino francés in tandem, with two team-mates.
Two magnificent stories that these pilgrims will be happy to share with us, along with a few photos from their journey. Then they’ll be answering live questions from Internet users.
The evening will also be devoted to solidarity initiatives proposed by various associations (notably the Compostelle 2000 pilgrimage for PRMs / Pilgrims with Reduced Mobility, and the accompaniment of visually impaired people by the Société française des Amis de Saint-Jacques).
