It is 150 years since the apparitions, and Lourdes are celebrating the event. So it should be a good year for a visit. Many of the places of interest have received a face-lift, and the little town is even more welcoming than usual.

As you pass back along the side of the cathedral, after you've visited the grotto, be sure and fill a small plastic jug or two with water from the springs here. This is where Bernadette was instructed by the Virgin Mary to dig, on a spot where no water had previously existed, and voila! so she located the holy springs. Folks believe this water has great curative powers. It tastes like well water, but anything that helps these days, eh?
