Descriptions

Cinematographic view of great interest, composed of 21 scenes reproducing the different episodes of the pilgrimage. Scenes taken on the spot by our special operators.

Source: Gaumont Catalogue, 1904


There exists film clips in the GP archives in a mingled order, that put together in the right order matches all the scenes except for the two last ones described. The total time is a bit longer than expected, but it may be that some scenes are cut shorter in the end result. The length is questioned by other sources that claim this film was 20 views spread over 500 meters (so, 18-19 minutes) ("Le Cinéma et la diffusion de la Doctrine mariale", 1953) making it easier to belive that different versions were in circulation.

21 Scenes
The film contained 21 scenes, and was probably the longest film about the pilgrimage of the time.
