What to expect
Step into a profound spiritual experience in Lourdes that will move and inspire. Embark on an immersive 2-hour guided tour of the sanctuaries led by an expert local guide who will bring the rich history and religious significance to life.
Follow in the footsteps of Saint Bernadette as you walk the same path she took to the revered Grotto where the Virgin Mary appeared to her over 18 times, forever changing her life and this unassuming place. As you stand before the famous healing spring and take in the atmosphere of the candlelit crypt, gaze in wonder at the exact spot the apparitions occurred.
Your guide will regale you with stories of Bernadette’s visions, the miracles reported here, the architectural features, precious artifacts and more. With their deep insight, see Lourdes transform before your eyes from an ordinary town into the enormous pilgrimage site it is today, welcoming over 6 million visitors each year.
After exploring the sanctuaries, drink in their tranquility during contemplative personal time for prayer, reflection or connecting with the divine presence that permeates this holy ground. Feel the untold mysteries, beliefs, hopes and intentions of all who have gathered here through the decades settle upon you. Let the spirituality of Lourdes work its wonders from the inside out as it likely did for Bernadette herself. Emerge renewed and inspired by the two hours spent in this place unlike any other in the world.
