The Pilgrimage 1964

Since 1935, inspired by the Catholic writer/lyricist/essayist and victim of World War One, Charles Péguy, students (at first from the Sorbonne) have set off on a pilgrimage towards the cathedral in Chartres. The journey takes about two to three days, Moritz de Hadeln’s documentary of the pilgrimage, called Le Pèlé for short, lasts roughly an hour. Four crews followed the groups – there are many ways leading to Chartres – on their journey through the countryside.
