Round table: Saint Michael's sacred line
2024-11-15 19:30 - 21:45 | Forum 104, 104, rue de Vaugirard, PARIS, 75006
Saint Michael’s sacred line: a mysterious path linking 7 sites dedicated to the archangel

As part of the 7th “Des chemins et des hommes” cycle, a roundtable (with photo projection) moderated by Frédéric Rochet, director of Forum104.

The “line of St. Michael” is an alignment of seven sites dedicated to the archangel, from Skellig Michael (Ireland) to Mount Carmel (Israel), via St Michael’s Mount (England), Mont-Saint-Michel (Normandy), Sacra di San Michele (Italy), Monte san Angelo (Italy) and Symi (Greece). It is said to symbolize the sword blow the archangel dealt the devil to send him to hell. Éric Georgelin and Morgane Le Moelle, who have just walked it, came back transformed.

Éric Georgelin, a former industrial executive, discovered the pilgrim’s way of life when he set out from Nantes to Geneva via Vézelay. With a passion for history and a thirst for the sacred, he started the Saint-Michel line in both directions, on two different itineraries. He is the author of Thank you for existing! 40-day getaway from Nantes to Geneva (self-published, 2018).

Morgane Le Moelle, a therapist, is an avid walker: she has completed the Camins de Saint-Jacques, the Tour de Bretagne, the Chemin de Stevenson and the Loire. In 2023-2024, she covered almost 5,000 kilometers on foot along the Saint-Michel route. She is the author of Compostelle. An inner journey (À cœur vaillant, 2021).

Round table: Women's paths to spirituality
2025-04-04 19:30 - 21:45 | Forum 104, 104, rue de Vaugirard, PARIS, 75006
As part of the “Des chemins et des hommes” cycleWomen’s spiritual paths: In the footsteps of Mary Magdalene, Hildegard of Bingen and Joan of Arc Round table (with photo projection)

Moderated by Frédéric Rochet, Director of Forum104

On pilgrimage routes, women are not forgotten. Three pilgrims have followed (or traced) paths honoring female saints:

Cyrille Boland in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene in Provence.

Cyrille Boland is an Orthodox deacon and beekeeper. He is founder and president of the association Chemins des saintes et saints de Provence and author of En Provence sur les traces de Marie-Madeleine (Salvator, 2024).

Sylvie Francotte in the footsteps of Hildegard of Bingen in Germany

Sylvie Francotte (better known as Radio Camino) has walked many of the roads to Santiago de Compostela, sometimes in both directions. She then developed a passion for other initiatory paths, such as the Chemin de Gargantua (from Mont-Sainte-Odile to Mont-Saint-Michel), or the tour of the Black Virgins of France.

Pascale de Barochez on those of Joan of Arc in the Loiret region.

Pascale de Barochez is in charge of the Pastorale du tourisme et des loisirs at the French Bishops’ Conference. She was diocesan delegate for the pastoral care of tourism in the Diocese of Orléans from 2016 to 2023.

They’ll take us down new paths, as inspired as they are inspiring.

Spiritual preparation - cancelled and postponed to April 12

Due to the unavailability of Father Patrice SONNIER on Saturday April 5, 2025, the spiritual preparation session on Saturday April 5 has been postponed to Saturday April 12, 2025.
In addition to the material preparationfor pilgrimage on the roads to Santiago, spiritual preparation is clearly a “plus” in the pilgrim’s toolkit.

Since 2022, the Société Française des Amis de Saint-Jacques de Compostellehas been offering this time of exchange and sharingfor all those interested in this spiritual preparation.

The sessions are led by lFather Patrice SONNIER, professor at the Collège des Bernardins

Spiritual preparation meetings are held at the Association’s head office.

Please register in advance and check times with the association.
