For those who want information to prepare a pilgrimage, those who are nostalgic for the Camino, those who are interested in the cult of the Apostle Saint James, those who need advice, those who want to show their photos of the Way, to talk about their experience, their doubts, those who want to find out about volunteer hospitaliers, etc., or simply those who want to have a drink with others.

It’s a convivial gathering of former and future pilgrims, whether or not they are members of the Société Française des Amis de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle.
It’s a time of conviviality and informal exchanges about the roads to Santiago de Compostela.

Spiritual preparation
Resumption of spiritual preparation for the 2024/2025 season
Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is not just about visiting a place to admire its artistic or cultural treasures. Setting out on a pilgrimage is a way of meeting ourselves, an action that also opens our hearts to stepping outside ourselves to meet God.
Returning or departing pilgrims, the cycle of spiritual preparations with Father Patrice Sonnier resumes according to the following schedule:
- Saturday 12/7/2024 11am
- Saturday 8/02/2025 11am
- Saturday 5/04/2025 11am
