    A quiet, elegant park in the middle of the city with pleasant lawns, huge trees, and wide walking paths.

    Located in a small chateau in the Massey Gardens, this fascinating gem of a museum about Hussars will appeal to military history buffs and anyone who enjoys seeing gorgeous costumes and paintings. Good signage in English, as well.

    The cathedral is built on top of the cave where Bernadette apparently had her vision. There were lots of people but it wasn't overcrowded. It is a wonderful building which is huge and has a spiral driveway up to the cathedral. At the front and below the cathedral is another church or part of the cathedral which can be reached by a few steps which is absolutely stunning. There are the most beautiful gold and brightly coloured mosaic/paintings on the outside and the inside is lovely with lots of walls painted as well. I am not at all religious but could really appreciate the beauty of the building and the decorations. There is a smaller round building at the upper cathedral with a gold crown on the top
    We parked on a steep hill going out of Lourdes and walked back across the river. There is a hospital on the other side from the cathedral where people were lining up in wheelchairs etc to go across to the cave and cathedral. Definitely worth a visit. If you are religious you can drink, bathe or take away what I presume is holy water. Containers could be purchased from shops in the main street

    We were made very welcome at the museum. Tarbes was at the centre of the routes used by escaping prisoners of war to cross the Pyrenees and had a very active resistance to the Nazi. occupation. Quite a number of its citizens - including its Mayor suffered death or deportation as a result.
    There is a lot of old material, photos that make a vivid explanation of the second world war and its impact on France and the combatants.
    Worth going to.
