How to tell your story" conference
2021-11-12 19:30 - 21:45 (Europe/Paris) | Forum 104, 104, rue de Vaugirard, PARIS, 75006
As part of the “Des chemins et des hommes” series
Two round-table discussions with Marie-Ève Humery and Henri de Courtivron, followed by Danièle Tournié, Gérard Harlay and Françoise Labouille (moderated by Gaële de La Brosse, journalist with the weekly magazine Le Pèlerin)
The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is such a powerful experience that when you return, you want to share it with others. How do you find the words? How do you bring back evocative images? And, for those with an artistic bent, why not try a few drawings? Two authors of books (a narrative and a watercolor notebook) and two pilgrims familiar with various techniques of expression (blogs, writing workshops, travel notebooks). will answer these questions.
Marie-Ève Humery is the author of Sept grâces sur le chemin de Compostelle (Salvator, 2020) and Henri de Courtivron du Carnet du chemin du Puy-en-Velay à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle (IBAcom, 2019); Danièle Tourniéwriting workshop leader, and Gérard Harlayphotographer, are Compostelle 2000 pilgrims; Françoise Labouille, computer scientist and author of several blogs on the Way of St. James, is a member of the Société française des Amis de Saint-Jacques.
Reservations are recommended.

The round-table discussions will be followed by the prize-giving ceremony for the short-story competition organized by the Compostelle 2000 association, and a book-signing session for the authors in attendance.
Compulsory health pass, compulsory mask, respect for social distancing rules.

Five speakers will discuss the different facets of the pilgrimage, with a wealth of illustrations: history and current events (Philippe Abjean), the adventure of hospitality (Ronan Pérennou), pilgrimage to celebrate a wedding anniversary (Bertrand and Maryse de Kérimel) or to mourn the loss of a child (Hervé Poëns). These pilgrims will also offer practical advice for future trobreiziens.

Philippe Abjean is president of the association Les chemins du Tro Breiz and author of the book Un rêve de pierre. Du Tro Breiz à la vallée des saints (Salvator, 2020); Ronan Pérennou walks a section of the route each year with young people, and welcomes pilgrims to Bodélio (Finistère); Bertrand and Maryse de Kérimel, retired, walked the Tro Breiz to celebrate 50 years of marriage; Hervé Poëns, who made the pilgrimage after the death of his child, is the author of Tro-Breiz thérapie. Pèlerinage en terre bretonne (self-published, 2018).
