Have you ever been to Lourdes??

Question

What did you think of it???

Answer 1

If Disney was to create a "Religion Land" to go with its other entertainment then it would be Lourdes.

No doubt, to people with strong religious faith it is a deeply moving place with metaphysical significance.

For anyone less devote it seems tacky, absurd and a bit creepy.

I confess to being one of the latter.

Answer 2

A lot of people place a lot of spiritual significance in it, certainly folks who are deeply in need of some miracle in their lives.

I guess what i think of it is that people have a need to visit, so they deserve the greatest of respect for thieir needs.

As a spectacle, I would rate along with the other religeous shrines around the World. It all depends on what it means to you.

I've given you a link to the National Tourism website for France, plus a hotels and  accommodation directory, with pictures, which gives you a feel of the place, just in case you're considering going or curious.

Hope that helps
