in #travel7 years ago

There are many beautiful places to visit in France that I have been too. If you love beautiful and romantic cities, towns and charming villages. I've prepared a series of the most beautiful cities and towns to visit in France!

7.Lourdes

Although Lourdes is a near to the Pyrenees, it is much better known as a place of pilgrimage and Roman Catholics. Lourdes is the most popular Christian pilgrimage site in the world, it is also a gateway to the valleys of Arrens, Cauterets, Ossau and Gavarnie.
Around five million visitors, mainly pilgrims, are coming to this town every single year, which is making Lourdes the 2nd most popular travel destinations in the france (just after Paris). Its main landmark is Rosary Basilica.
