Description

Travel back in time to the Lourdes of 1884 and let yourself be guided by Violette, a lavender who does not have her tongue in her pocket! Walk the busy streets of this Pyrenean city transformed by the miracle of the Apparitions of 1858 and the shudders of the Industrial Revolution, which has become a mystical crossroads where pilgrims and travellers from all over the world converge. You will stroll through the historic district of Lourdes, near the Garnavie Tower, below the Castle (outside only), and near the Father's House of St Bernadette and the Moulin de Boly. Soak up the excitement of popular neighborhoods through Violette's anecdotes. Through the anecdotes, learn about the city’s transformations and their impact on the lives of its inhabitants, the beginnings of pilgrimages and the echoes of a sometimes turbulent past. A historical immersion in the soul of a Lourdes in full metamorphosis!
