Come Celebrate the Jubilee Year in Lourdes, France
Lourdes is known as one of the spiritual centers of Europe, and this year the city is celebrating that status in a big way. Lourdes is in its “Jubilee Year” through December, 2008, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the town’s famous apparitions of the Virgin Mary at the Sanctuaries of Notre-Dame de Lourdes.
Located in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France, a trip to Lourdes also affords travelers a chance to visit the region’s beautiful sights, from the “pink city” of Toulouse to the protected landscapes of the Parc National des Pyrénées.
