Weather

I have been 8/9 times over the past few years. The weather can be similar to UK. I have been when it has been very hot and sunny, and another year when it rained the whole week.

I have usually visit during May and weather can be varied. Prepare for all conditions. I take a long raincoat, and a sun hat.....together with a large unbrella to catch the rays or rain.

Holiday

Amazing. Nowhere can compaire to Lourdes. The services/hotels/cafe's are very good. Everyone is helpful if you have a sick person/wheelchair.

The shops can be a bit of a tight fit if you are not 'able' but everyone is accomodating.

I have been in cheap hotels and better hotels. All are clean and food is plentiful. I have dietry requests and they have always been provided.

I will return as often as I can. Love it! If you have not been, I highly recommend you do. If you are religeous it is so uplifting and prayerful. If you are not you will be comforted and inspired.

You will find peace. If you have time try to get up the funicular railway to the top of the mountain. A lovely cafe awaits and you can look 'down' on the eagles flying, and on the whole of Lourdes. If you are energetic, make the walk to the top and visit the three crosses placed by the people of Lourdes in rememberence of the RAF airmen whose planes crashed into the mountain top on returning from a raid on Germany during WWII.

Recommend Lourdes to others?

Yes
