For some years now, the lake of Lourdes has been taking its summer quarters and to make these quarters synonymous with real holidays, it even transforms its shores into a real seaside! Sand, parasols and deckchairs: Lourdes Plage is the favourite destination for those who want to take a dip in an idyllic setting. A 280^m2 floating pool has been set up on the water. The bathing area is safe and a first aid post watches over the summer swimmers. Lourdes Plage is ideal if you want to relax. A real smart plan.

In the Jardin des Tilleuls in Lourdes, the town comes alive for several days of festivities. You'll have the opportunity to enjoy a festive weekend with a wide range of events, including concerts, recreational afternoons and activities for children, traditional dances... All aimed at a wide audience. In the garden, "casetas" are set up for this warm, intergenerational festival, with food and refreshment stands run by local merchants. It's sure to be a convivial occasion!

Each season, pilgrims are invited to meditate on a particular theme. The season will also be punctuated by the French National Pilgrimage around August 15, as well as those of the Order of Malta and the Rosary, and by national gatherings of the faithful from all over the world. To find out more, consult the calendar and program published each year, and don't forget the torchlight procession that takes place every evening throughout the period.
