Grotte de Massabielle or grottes des apparitions, one of the most famous in the world, where the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous.

The grotto at Massabielle is one of the most famous in the world. It was here that the Virgin Mary appeared 18 times to the young shepherdess Bernadette Soubirous. It was also here that the Virgin pointed out the miraculous spring to the saint. Surmounted by the Massabielle rock, the grotto extends 9.50 metres into the ground. The spring is at the far left, and feeds the basins and pools into which pilgrims in search of a miracle plunge. The grotto, also known as Grotte des Apparitions, receives no less than 6 million visitors a year!

LOURDES-Động Massabielle, điểm đến linh thiêng của đạo Công giáo. Trong sự kiện Đức Mẹ đã hiện ra 18 lần cho chị Bernadette Soubirous thị kiến ngay bên trong hang đá Grotte de Massabielle.

Si vous souhaitez éviter le gros des visiteurs et être un peu plus au calme, privilégier tôt le matin ou en fin de journée.
