The weather in Lourdes in the month of May could not be more beautiful.
The average low temperature is 52 degrees Fahrenheit and the average high is 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
May brings an average of 8 hours a day of sunshine, so you can spend ample time exploring everything Lourdes has to offer.
The average precipitation in May is only 92 mm, but there can be up to 20 days of rainfall. Thus, like April, it is unlikely that you will experience many dry days during your May visit to Lourdes.
The town is full of religious landmarks and is a popular place for Roman Catholic pilgrimages. Lourdes is known for being a place of miracles and healing and is most famous for the legend of a girl named Bernadette's visions of the Virgin Mary.
In addition to the popular religious landmarks, the city of Lourdes offers many other exciting opportunities.
Because Lourdes is located in the Pyrenees, it is close to many other Pyrenean cities and villages offering great opportunities for day trips.
One great place to take a day trip, especially during the beautiful month of May, is Argeles-Gazost. This village is located only a few minutes away and offers a casino, a spa, and boutiques and cares. It is the perfect place to spend the day while you are in the area.
Another place you won't want to miss while visiting Lourdes is the city of Pau. Pau is the birthplace of King Henry IV and is a great place to see where he was born. This beautiful city is only 45 minutes from Lourdes and is another great option for your trip to the area.
