Book Cheap Flights to Lourdes

As one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage destinations in the world, the city of Lourdes, on the foothills of the magnificent Pyrenees Mountains is a place of sacred divinity.

The sleepy town, once known only for the Château fort de Lourdes, shed its obscurity in the mid-1800s when the Virgin Mary visited a poor shepherd girl named Bernadette Soubirous. Since then, the city of Lourdes has been the site of numerous miracles and attracted religious travellers from far and wide to its holy shrines.

However, the city is also one of the most beautiful cities in France.

A shimmering canal threads its way between quaint Baroque architecture toward the wild inclines of the Pyrenees Mountains, where historical castles perch on jagged peaks and nature sings hymns of splendour and tranquillity.

Lourdes invites you to explore the rich history of Europe, luxuriate in the invigorating caress of nature and feel the warm glow of divinity in the picturesque southern stretches of France.
