We visited this little museum on Thursday 12 December and was greeted by a lady who gave us an excellent guided tour around the exhibits,not only was she knowledgeable about the subject matter but she conveyed the information with such enthusiasm.

Lourdes is said to be the place where heaven touches the earth. Whilst the Sanctuary for Christian pilgrims represents heaven, this medieval castle symbolizes the earth walking in its botanical garden, dwelling in the intimate museum of the Pyrenees, or visiting the Notre Dame du Chateau (where the original tabernacle of St. Bernadette's Church can be admired and the original cross of Jesus and the statues of St. Peter and Paul) is just a celebration for the eyes as they notice stunning views on the beautiful town of Lourdes, the churches & cathedrals, the Sanctuary along the river Gave, and the majestic snow-covered mountains the local staff doesn't speak much English (hey this is no Chicago), but quite friendly and fairly customer-oriented (not money minded at all), and the General Manager who I believe has a background in the history of fine arts often organizes sublime exhibitions on Lourdes and the Pyrenees for master Rodin aficionados, there is a sanguine drawing from the sculpture August Rodin tucked in the exhibition room right from the majestic tower. Enjoy your visit in this must see historical monument on your journey toward eternity!

THE VILLAGE OF LOURDES IN 1858 A wonderful reconstruction in stone based on the description from authentic documents. The visitor will be able to walk round the old lourdes of the time of the apparitions in a natural open landscape, with its houses, brooks and historical monuments reproduced in a beautiful garden of flowers and bonsais.

A real jewel. Tucked away at the end of "hotel row" along the Gave, this re-creation of Lourdes at the time of the Apparitions was extremely useful in helping me see how it had all happened in 1858, as the town now has changed beyond recognition. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable, and are in fact descendants of the man who created the miniature village. Beautifully and skillfully done, not to be missed in any trip to Lourdes.
