LOURDES: Walk to the Marian Apparition Grotto from the Train Station - Sanctuary Lourdes, Walking

Walking around on the streets in Lourdes, France.
Recorded on 05 September 2023 during the day.
Very beautiful are the many shops in the city center and of course the Grotto and the Sanctuary :) One can meet many priests, monks and nuns in Lourdes.
In 1854, the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous (Maria Bernada Sobirós in her native Occitan language) on a total of eighteen occasions at Lourdes (Lorda in her local Occitan language). Lourdes has become a major place of Roman Catholic pilgrimage and of miraculous healings. The 150th Jubilee of the first apparition took place on 11 February 2008.
In 2020, Lourdes had a population of around 15,000. In 2012, 715,000 pilgrims attended Our Lady of Lourdes related events, falling to 570,000 in 2016. In 2011, Lourdes contained about 270 hotels, the second-greatest number of hotels per square kilometer in France after Paris.
