Itinerary
7 h
Your private guide will come to pick you up at your hotel in Paris. Take a private transportation to the train station and enjoy a trip by high-speed train to Lourdes. Take a rest and a moment to have a lunch inside the train.
pass by
Arrive in Lourdes. There, take a private transportation to the Sanctuary and start your visit and moment of reflection. Start by seeing the Grotto of Massabielle, site of the 18 apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. You will have pportunities to approach the Grotto, touch the rock, pray, or simply observe in silence. You can also see the miraculous spring and fountains where pilgrims come to pray.
pass by
Continue your tour at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the very first basilica built in Lourdes and completed in 1871. This elegant neo-Gothic masterpiece, perched above the Grotto, stands as a powerful symbol of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Just beneath it lies the Basilica of the Rosary, adorned with magnificent Venetian mosaics illustrating the Mysteries of the Rosary — a vibrant setting where many masses and blessings are celebrated. A short walk away, the Basilica of Saint Pius X, an impressive modern underground structure inaugurated in 1958, can welcome up to 25,000 pilgrims; its vast space and unique architecture often leave visitors in awe. Nearby, you’ll also discover the Lourdes fountains, where you can drink or collect the miraculous water, and the entrance to the monumental Way of the Cross on Espélugues Hill, whose deep symbolism we’ll share without making the full ascent. Finally, your experience culminates at the Rosary Esplanade.
