Lourdes is one of the largest pilgrim destinations on the globe and definitely the largest one in France. Being 150 years ago only a small market town, it is now the place with the second largest quantity of hotels in the whole country. And welcoming from four to six million tourists every year who come mesmerized by the sacred places Lourdes deserves much attention.

It happens sometimes that usual and well-known places become sacred. The ones where we first met our purest and most sincere love; the houses where our parents or children were born and grew up; the countries where our life turned over and where we suddenly understood something, which influenced all our future life. And when the days are grey, when the problems follow us and sadness seems to live in our houses and souls we come to these places to get the support, to refresh the mind, to perceive the wisdom.
