Sick and Disabled Pilgrims

Designed in the form of “open arms” like the Rosary Basilica the Accueil Notre-Dame reminds us that, in Lourdes, everyone is made welcome and cared for.

The Accueil Notre-Dame is neither a hotel nor a hospital. It is exclusively reserved for the sick and disabled pilgrims as well as those who accompany them.

The Holy Father stayed at the Accueil Notre-Dame on 14th August 2004 where he was made welcome by the members of staff.

Friendliness and serenity in an ideal setting

Situated in the within the Sanctuary, the Accueil Notre-Dame has an atmosphere of peace and calm. All around is greenery, fountain and flowerbeds border the bank of the Gave

In the Accueil Notre-Dame the meeting areas guarantee a peaceful and friendly stay. Many of the open areas are furnished. Two panoramic terraced- roof areas allow pilgrims to meet and to converse in a friendly atmosphere.

The two chapels allow people to pray or hold liturgies.

The comfort of the specially designed accommodation

The spacious rooms that contain from one to six beds (with specially adapted toilets and showers) allow the sick or disabled every possible comfort. Each room has an oxygen supply and each bed is fitted with an alarm bell.

There is a bedroom reserved for the doctor on call in each unit as well as basic treatment rooms.
Meals are varied and adapted to national tastes as well as special diets. They are served in the eight dining rooms of the Accueil or in the bedrooms for those who are unable to move.
