Chemin du Jubilé

Since 11th February 2025, pilgrims to Lourdes have been able to follow the Jubilee Way, accompanied by guides from the Sanctuary of Lourdes. This walk is available every weekend until the opening of the pilgrimage season, then every day during the season and school holidays.

There are two starting times: 9.30am and 2pm.

The meeting point is at the Information Centre.

This meditative trail is made up of 8 stages. It begins in front of the Information Centre and leads to the rotunda of the Good Samaritan, where the path ends with the water gesture. It passes through places of consolation and hope in the Sanctuary, such as the OCH (Christian Office for Handicapped People), the Hospitality of Our Lady of Lourdes and the ‘Accueil Notre-Dame’.

At the foot of the crowned Virgin, pilgrims are invited to turn towards the basilicas where the Eucharist is celebrated every day, and to the Chapel of Reconciliation to receive the sacrament of God’s mercy. Passing through the garden of reflection, pilgrims can get to know Mary, comforter of the afflicted, the One who, on 25th March 1858, revealed her name: ‘I am the Immaculate Conception’.

The trail ends at the rotunda of the Good Samaritan with the Water Gesture, a symbol of purification and renewal.

Pilgrims can conclude this spiritual journey by attending Mass at 11.15am in the Rosary Basilica or by praying the rosary at the Grotto at 3.30pm.
