Depart on your international overnight flight to France. 

Our representative will greet you at the airport and escort you to your bus for the journey to Lourdes.  Check into your hotel for dinner and overnight. Here Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous 18 times in 1858. It has become a place of pilgrimage for millions of the faithful each year, and the spring water from the grotto is believed to have healing properties. While in Lourdes, you will have the opportunity to participate in the afternoon processional and the evening candlelight processional.

Enjoy a walking tour of the Sanctuary grounds and then to the homes of Bernadette and her family. Enjoy a tour of the Basilica. Celebrate Mass in one of the chapels or at the Grotto with people gathered from across the world.

Enjoy a free day in Lourdes to experience the healing waters, follow the paths to the various apparition sites, or spend the day in meditation and contemplation.

Enjoy Mass this morning in Lourdes and then tour the city beyond the Shrine.  Take a Cable Car to the Castle above the City, and then enjoy an afternoon free again to take in the Shrine, processions, and services.
