Visit the world famous Sanctuary of Lourdes on a day full of spirituality. After touring the roads where the Pyrenees are visible, the small mountain town of Lourdes will surprise you with its varied experiences. The castle of Lourdes (Chateau Fort) is visited as the beginning of the arrival in the village, before accessing the Sanctuary.

Crossing the door of Saint Michel, with the underground basilica of Pio X and the chapel of Saint Joseph at our side, the Coronado Virgin will receive us as a prelude to the Basilica of Notre Dame and the crypt of the Immaculate Conception to reach the cave where the Virgin appeared before Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.

The houses where Bernadette was born and grew up are also very close from the Basilica and are visible as well.
