About
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, set in the mist‑clad Pyrenees, is a living pilgrimage destination where faith, healing, and history converge. Since Bernadette Soubirous’ 1858 apparitions, the complex has expanded into a sprawling oasis that welcomes millions of pilgrims each year. The grounds are open daily from 5 am to midnight, offering access to the famous Grotto of Massabielle, three magnificent basilicas, contemplative chapels, and modern facilities designed for the sick, disabled, and vulnerable.
