What to do and see in Lourdes, Occitanie: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
As the French would say, Lourdes, c’est magnifique. Nestled in the southwestern Pyrénees, its status as a pilgrimage center was largely cemented by the sighting of the Virgin Mary at the The Grotto of Massabielle. The city abounds with religious activity, with opportunities to attend mass, say the Rosary as part of the daily Candlelight Procession, or visit holy sites like the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. The Cirque de Gavarnie offers opportunities to experience breathtaking mountain beauty, such as the tiered Gavarnie Falls.

Through walking the cute quiet town of montemarte, which has tons of quirky art and souvenir shops, you reach the beautiful church and climb up to the dome. Lots of stairs so be prepared but worth it.

5. Crypte de la Basilique de l’Immaculee Conception.

I cannot describe the peaceful feeling you get once you walk onto this Sanchuary. I am grateful that we went during the low season because we felt more of a personal connection with the nuns, priests and having a longer time in the grotto to pray. Would HIGHLY recommend this very special place.
