Lourdes, a small town in the Pyrenees in southwestern France, became world-famous in 1858 through the Marian apparitions of the young Bernadette Soubirous. Since then, Lourdes has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites of the Catholic Church. Millions of pilgrims visit the Grotto of Massabielle every year to pray or draw water from the spring. The place combines deep spirituality with a quiet, haunting atmosphere and the hope of healing.
