Forum des chemins 2021, April 9-11

TheForum des chemins, organized by the weekly magazine Le Pèlerin and Forum104, will be held from April 9 to 11. In view of the uncertainties linked to the health crisis, the organizers are proposing an innovative formula: three live videoconferences (to be watched on the Internet), where participants will be able to intervene and ask questions; and walks on different paths.

The program

→ Friday April 9, 7.30pm-9pm : “Mille et un chemins de pèlerinage: lequel choisir?”, live videoconference with Fabienne Bodan (frequent traveler and journalist) and Gaële de La Brosse (journalist with Le Pèlerin), hosted by Cécile Picco (journalist with Le Pèlerin).

→ Saturday April 10 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm : “Éloge des chemins pour le monde qui vient”, live videoconference with David Le Breton (anthropologist and sociologist, author of Marcher la vie [Métailié, 2020]) and Charlotte Jousseaume (writer, journalist, writing workshop leader and avid walker, author of Le silence est ma joie [Albin Michel, 2010]), hosted by Frédéric Rochet (director of Forum104).

→ Saturday April 10, 8pm – 9:15pm: “Walking, an experience of the sacred”, live videoconference with guest of honor Frédéric Lenoir (philosopher and writer), hosted by Muriel Fauriat (journalist with Pèlerin).

The 17 walks of the Forum des chemins

→ Sunday afternoon, April 11 (1.45pm – 5pm): walks all over France on the various pilgrimage routes.

Some fifteen hikes are scheduled in France and Belgium: these simultaneous walks will be a fine symbol of pilgrim fraternity in these troubled times.

Logistical requirements:

– RV 1:45 p.m., departure 2 p.m., end 5 p.m.
– Maximum 10 participants (plus one or two organizers) (due to government directives)
– Price: 10 euros per person
– Mask mandatory, as well as respect for barrier gestures.
