Lovely day taking in the beauty of Lourdes and it's surroundings. Very quiet on a Monday as most places were shut, but we did manage to find one place selling gorgeous crepes.

A Place of Deep Faith, Peace, and Healing The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is one of the most moving and spiritual places in the world. From the moment you enter the grounds, there is an overwhelming sense of peace, faith, and reverence. The atmosphere is filled with quiet devotion, where pilgrims from all over the world come to pray, reflect, and find healing. The Grotto of Massabielle, where the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette, is incredibly serene — especially during the evening candlelight procession, a truly unforgettable experience of unity and prayer. The basilicas, chapels, and walkways are beautifully maintained, and everything radiates a feeling of hope and grace. Whether you visit for spiritual reasons or simply to experience its profound tranquility, Lourdes touches the heart in a very special way. A sacred destination that inspires faith and peace beyond words.

Me and my wife were really impressed the way Veronica handled the group. She answered our questions and attended to us in case we are out of her sight. And above all her knowledege about Lourdes is exemplary and I learned a lot about Bernadette, Lourdes and the famous holy place'

If you are a devotee of the Mother of Jesus Mary, if you are desperate for healing, this place makes miracles. So many devotees from around the world would flock this Holy place. So many proven miracles of healing that science couldn't explain. A beautiful place for everyone to experience the love of Mother Mary expressed through feelings of hope and love for Jesus and his mother.

As a catholic, I’m writing this review with great pleasure and joy. It was my first time in Lourdes and I felt so special and blessed. Please note there’s a candlelight procession happening at 9pm at night every day from April to October. Also there are several mass services in different churches in the premises. You can buy bottles from near by shops and fill holy water. There’s staff that help you with information and guiding you through. Have a pleasant pilgrimage Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us

We love Joseph! It was a very good tour once we arrived in Lourdes to give us an idea on how to navigate the sanctuary. He gave us tips, anecdotes and guidance which made our 2 day stay very efficient. Good job and May God Bless you more, Joseph!

The Lourdes Church (Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes) is an incredible and sacred place to visit. The atmosphere is peaceful and deeply spiritual, attracting pilgrims and visitors from all over the world. The architecture is breathtaking, and the surroundings are beautifully maintained. It’s only a short walk from nearby hotels, making it very accessible. Attending mass and spending quiet moments in prayer here was a very moving experience. Whether you visit for faith or simply to appreciate the history and beauty, Lourdes Church is truly a must-see.
