Lourdes

We visited Lourdes on Thursday (24th)............I had a little tummy ache when I arrived and was not religious.............after the visit I still had tummy ache and was still not religious! (sorry).

However....... Lourdes was a very interesting place to see.  The whole town is (clearly) centred around religion and is considered to be the most Holy Catholic place in the world!

Whilst we did not have any epiphany type moments one could not help but be impressed by the overwhelming sense of beliefand religion that filled the air.



Lourdes Notre Dame



The 'Grotto' under the Notre Dame 'where it all happened'



Where do Nuns go shopping? ....... a tacky Lourdes shop of course!



The view from above the Basilica towards the town



I was in the High Street so not 'irreverent'
