France - Le Chemin de Saint Jacques 2011

Le Chemin de Saint Jacques~Part 1
Le Puy en Velay to Figeac

April 24-May 7, 2011

250 kilometers of beautifully marked footpaths through a rural part of south-central France.
On this 14-day walking holiday, starting in Le Puy en Velay at the headwaters of the Loire, we follow an ancient Roman Road and the Way of St. James (the GR 65) to the town of Figeac on the Cele River. En route, we spend the night in Conques, a pilgrimage site, where stands a magnificent Romanesque abbey and the relics of Saint Foy, a Christian martyr and patron saint of prisoners. This site once attracted thousands of pilgrims on their journey to Santiago de Compostela, located 1400 kilometers away in the northwest corner of the Iberian peninsula.

We’ll embark on daily hiking trips into the surrounding mountains that share the frontier with Chile; follow trails along the shores of pristine lakes and rivers; ride horses with gauchos on an authentic estancia; watch the giant condors soaring overhead....

The Pilgrim Office in Santiago needs help... 2010 ~ VOLUNTEER

MESSAGE FROM THE PILGRIM'S OFFICE IN SANTIAGO

In this upcoming Holy Year we will need all the help that we can get to attend and assist pilgrims, particularly in the summer months, June, July, August and September. And we will accept all those volunteers that wish to contribute in providing a humane and Christian welcome to the expected pilgrims. You may give our e-mail to those interested so that they can tell us when, and for how long, they will be available to help us. We are very sorry that we do not have the means to pay for their accommodation, but we could pay for their meals if D. Jenaro can manage it."If you are able to volunteer you can send an e-mail to Eduardo Perez at peregrinos@archicompostela.org .

Tell him your country of origin, the language, or languages, that you speak, and any particular abilities that may be of significant help to the pilgrims that will be arriving in Santiago next year.It goes without saying that a knowledge of Spanish would be of much value. You can, of course, write in English if you wish. There are several people in the Pilgrims' office who know the language quite well. Don Jenaro is a priest who is in charge of the Pilgrims' office; he was a teacher at the Pontifical University in Rome until he reached retirement age. He possesses immense erudition and infinite humility and kindness, and has a way of making things happen and I'm sure that he will take wonderful care of the volunteers.
