We travelled to Lisieux by train from Paris, when we got off the train we headed for the big basilica up on the hill. It is very steep walk up to the Basilica so we took it slowly. When we got there we realised that St Therese is buried down in the Carmelite Church at the Convent in the town. When we got to the Carmelite Church in the town, we went in and on the right hand side of the church there is the tomb of St Therese, it is a simple Church which the Carmelite nuns use, there is also a museum attached, the Convent and also a book/giftshop are all in the surrounding area. It was like visiting a great friend getting to visit the tomb of St Therese. Her remains lie underneath the statue. There are hundreds of roses which have been left in front of the tomb. We travelled independently which I was glad about as we had the Church to ourselves and were able to spend some time praying at the tomb. St Therese parents are buried in the underground church in the main Basilica which is in a different part of the town.
