Grotto of Massabielle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a pilgrimage to Lourdes or a simple visit to the Grotto, the Atrium Lourdes hotel welcomes you and accompanies you during your stay. The Grotto of Lourdes is just a stone’s throw from the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 11, 1858, in a small cave in Massabielle, not far from the Atrium Hotel, Bernadette Soubirous saw the Virgin Mary. In total, she had 18 apparitions. Since that day, the Grotto has received thousands of pilgrims from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been 68 miraculous cures. The Grotto of Lourdes has also been visited by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Our Atrium Lourdes team will do everything possible to facilitate your visit. A car park is at your disposal and the bus station is only a fifteen minute walk away.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Midi-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Midi-Pyrenees, tourism and sightseeing are inseparable. The Atrium Lourdes hotel is located in the heart of the region. A perfect base for discovering and travelling around the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This region of the Pyrenees offers a wide choice of places to visit: excursions and walks to make, tourist circuits to follow, or places not to be missed such as the peak of the Midi de Bigorre which culminates at 2877 meters, the bridge of Spain, or the cirque of Gavranie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take advantage of the Hotel Atrium Lourdes located just a stone’s throw from the Notre Dame de Lourdes sanctuary and its three basilicas and walk in the footsteps of Bernadette Soubirous in complete serenity to peregrinate with her and better understand her spiritual life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
