Lourdes: Guide
Lourdes is a large town in the French Midi-Pyrenees|Pyrenees and receives millions of tourists and pilgrims from all over the world.
Get in
There are several trains and buses connecting Lourdes to other French cities. Also easily accessed by car and close to the border with Spain.
By car
Lourdes is about 9 hours from Paris. Lourdes is easily accessed by car, allthough the narrow streets around the holy sites can become quite congested at weekends and holy days.
By train
Lourdes train station is just a few hundred metres from the town centre. For information on trains to and from Lourdes, visit the . Several trains travel to Lourdes, many offering special services for the handicapped.
By bus
By plane
Nearest airports are the ones near Tarbes and Pau, both within an hour drive.
Get around
On foot
Lourdes very pedestrianised, and it is very easy to get around the town centre. It really is worth walking and exploring. The town is also used to handicapped visitors, help is also readily available.
See
Do
Visit the sacred sites, including the Grotto where St Bernadette saw Mary. Attend mass (dozens on offer in almost every language in the world) somewhere in or around the holy sites. Visit one of the many Bernadette attractions (several museums, her former home, etc.) and best of all: watch the astonishing numbers of pilgrims from all over the world.
If you have a car, spend a day in the wonderful Pyrenees. Roadtrips to Pont d'Espagne, Gavarnie or de Col de Tourmalet offer breathtaking mountain scenery and lots of opportunities for hiking.
Buy
Lourdes has an enormous amount of shops selling all sorts of kitsch and (tacky) religious souvenirs like statuettes of saints, rosaries, candles, containers for storing the water from the source near the Grotto, mugs and fridge magnets.
Eat
Near the holy sites you can only find snackbars and fastfood places. Hotels usually offer better food, but Lourdes is not a good place to try out French cuisine.
Drink
The famous water, of course (free!). Bring your own bottles, or buy one of the thousands containers or jerrycans (or one of the tasteful plastic bottles in the shape of a Mary statuette) available at almost every shop in town.
Sleep
Lourdes offers dozens, if not hundreds hotels in and around Lourdes. There is a special youth village on the left side of the Gave river offering accommodation and facilities to young people.
