Lourdes Holiday - Day 4 - Market, Bernadette and Churches

First trip of the day was to the Lourdes covered market which is open every day from around 6 - 2 pm. We got a good selection of fruit, veg, cheese, meat and fish. 

After a break we followed the Route of Bernadette around various places she lived or was linked to.



After lunch and another break we headed to the main religious area of the two with its three large churches. A very long procession took place around 5 pm with lots of sick and disabled and their supporters. Two of the churches pictured - the brutalist underground church and the more traditional Basilique Notre Dame de Rosaire.
