- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2013
I was just reading the aucoeurdechemins.org website in preparation for another pilgrimage and learned something delightful that others might be interested in.
I discovered there, that some of the pelerins, in cooperation with the local municipalities, have been planting small "micro-vergers" along various pilgrimage routes in France since 2014.
So far they have planted 307 trees in 56 communities in groups of 3, 5 and 15 trees!! They try to use the ancient varieties that are local to each area. And they have planted some trees along each route (Tours, Vezelay, Le Puy, Arles et Piémont). Their site has a map where trees have been planted. Go HERE to see a map of where the trees have been planted
What a marvellous, thoughtful, and generous way to give back to les chemins!! Huge congratulations to those responsible!
