Program & Itinerary
Discover the Pilgrimage Town of Lourdes
Located in the foothills of the Pyrenees in southwestern France, Lourdes is one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage destinations in the world.
The town became internationally famous after the events of 1858 when Bernadette Soubirous reported seeing apparitions of the Virgin Mary in a grotto along the Gave de Pau river.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes
At the heart of the town lies the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, a vast religious complex covering more than 50 hectares and including several churches and places of worship.
The sanctuary includes:
• The Grotto of Massabielle, where the apparitions occurred • The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception (Upper Basilica) • The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary • The Basilica of St. Pius X, an underground basilica that can host thousands of pilgrims The Grotto and the Spring
During the apparitions, Bernadette uncovered a spring that pilgrims continue to visit today. The water from this spring has become a powerful symbol of faith for visitors coming to Lourdes.
A Place of Faith and Reflection
Each year, millions of visitors from around the world travel to Lourdes seeking spiritual reflection, prayer and healing.
