Easter weekend: Lourdes begins its tourist season successfully. On the program: mass, meditation and fervor.
With the military pilgrimage, 15,000 faithful from all over the world are expected. “There are people,” rejoices Virginie. In her shop, she points out small statuettes: "The best-seller is the plastic Virgins. The season is off to a good start and may it continue like this. I hope this heralds a good season," she says.
