Religious associations and organizations France

ACIR Compostelle brings together more than 150 members, local authorities, associations and accommodation providers, with the aim of passing on the cultural heritage of the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela, and promoting the development of sustainable tourism. It provides information on all aspects of the pilgrimage (practical advice, directory of accommodation providers, pilgrim's passport, etc.) to help pilgrims and tourists complete the route without difficulty.

On the first floor of the Tourist Office, this centre presents a collection of religious objects from churches in the community of Communes-Auvézère. It allows you to discover the jewels of these buildings that are no longer open only for religious offices.

Founded in 1950, the association initiated numerous studies on the Camino de Santigao and organized pilgrimages, on foot or on horseback, supporting the work of the French Hiking Federation for the reopening of the Voie du Puy as a long-distance trail around 1975. It publishes newsletters on the news of the paths as well as the review Compostelle and organizes study days and documentary exhibitions.

The Catholic Committee Against Hunger (CCFD) has opened this branch at the Espace Rencontre in Lourdes to be able to meet pilgrims on this holy site visited by so many faithful in search of hope, to guide them and inform them about its activities, hoping to sensitize them and involve them in its humanitarian actions. The CCFD is of course not only active in the context of Lourdes, but its action and presence here are noteworthy. A motivated team that listens to those in need welcomes all those who are willing to help.

A mecca of Protestantism in France, Nîmes has its own community house, occupying historic buildings on Littré Island. Very dynamic from a cultural point of view, this public space of the reformed Church, open to all, proposes different services: activities for Protestants or anyone interested in this religion, which is strongly implanted in the Gard. Nîmoises associations and tourist groups can enjoy guided tours around the history of cevenol and nîmois Protestantism while discovering the beautiful temples of the city centre. Chaplaincy, popular annual livres, convivial meals, choir, public conferences, theo-philosophy, seminars, exhibitions… it is in the lobby that you will be informed about these different activities. At the documentation centre you will find a library and a specialized library on history and religion.
