Live Cams in Lourdes

Live webcams in Lourdes, France. First shown popular webcams. Lourdes is a small market town lying in the foothills of the Pyrenees. It is part of the Hautes-Pyrenees department in the Occitanie region in south-western France. Prior to the mid-19th century, the town was best known for the Chateau fort de Lourdes, a fortified castle that rises up from a rocky escarpment at its centre.In 1858 Lourdes rose to prominence in France and abroad due to the Marian apparitions seen by the peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous, who was later canonized. Shortly thereafter the city became one of the world's most important sites of pilgrimage and religious tourism. Today Lourdes hosts around six million visitors every year from all corners of the world. This constant stream of pilgrims and tourists transformed quiet Lourdes into the second most important center of tourism in France, second only to Paris, and the third most important site of international Catholic pilgrimage after Rome and the Holy Land.Some live webcams can be viewed with sound.
