The complex is quite interesting. St. Bernadette supposidly saw a vision (actually 16 times) of the holy mother in a cave. This cave had a little pool of water in it. St Bernadette ordered to built a church on this spot. Pilgrims come from all over the world to pray, and take jerry-cans of holy water from the cave.

We went to Lourdes for a day. W e took the train and to our surprise it was WINTER! Very cold and we saw snow on the way! It is off season in Lourdes (the pilgramage city for the catholics) so we saw the complex with no waiting, but alot of rain!
