Travel back in time to the Lourdes of 1884 and let yourself be guided by Violette, a lavender who does not have her tongue in her pocket!

Walk the busy streets of this Pyrenean city transformed by the miracle of the Apparitions of 1858 and the shudders of the Industrial Revolution, which has become a mystical crossroads where pilgrims and travellers from all over the world converge. You will stroll through the historic district of Lourdes, near the Garnavie Tower, below the Castle (outside only), and near the Father's House of St Bernadette and the Moulin de Boly.

Soak up the excitement of popular neighborhoods through Violette's anecdotes. Through the anecdotes, learn about the city’s transformations and their impact on the lives of its inhabitants, the beginnings of pilgrimages and the echoes of a sometimes turbulent past. A historical immersion in the soul of a Lourdes in full metamorphosis!

We enjoyed this trip with Violette, a character played by guide Marion. His stories plunged us back several years. We lived for a time in the Lourdes of the 19th century and understood the stakes of that time for people like Violette. We highly recommend this tour which lasts 2 hours.
Exciting, to really live

Marion alias Violette immersed us in the Lourdes of the time with safe historical bases, a perfect interpretation of the character and made us discover a lot about Lourdes while we have been coming for more than 40 years.

Marion combines her talents as a guide and an actress to immerse you in the Lourdes of the years preceding the appearance in Bernadette! This is very interesting! It is a walking tour in the city. With stairs so if you have difficulty walking..... Marion is adorable and caring. We recommend 🤩

Visit the ancient parts of Lourdes, told by a lecturer guide, dressed as a lavender, mixing the history of Lourdes with tales. She has humor , and there is a playfulness in the way we guide us that puts a lot of enthusiasm.
A must visit!

Looking like nothing, it will give you a date in a place of the city that seems to you anonymous... Then it comes out of nowhere, probably through one of those doors until someone has trouble closing. She is Violette, a young lavender, who will introduce you to her Lourdes in 1884, as if it were yesterday (normal, because for her it was yesterday, just before she was afflicted to meet again in 2025). And like any self-respecting lavender lady, she knows gossip and anecdotes about her city, because, it must be said that her cause quite a lot in the wash... And Violet isn't the kind of girl with her tongue in her pocket, believe me...

The immersive tour with Violette was simply captivating! Delving into the past through the eyes of a 19th century lavender maker was a unique experience. Violette was able to transport us back to another time, making every corner and place visited come alive and full of history. The places chosen, apart from the usual tourist routes, offered an authentic perspective of daily life at that time. Violette’s personal anecdotes and stories added an emotional dimension to the visit, allowing us to understand the challenges and joys of the people of that time. The quality of the immersion was remarkable: the visual and sound details, as well as the period costumes, really helped us feel connected to the past. Violette, with her enthusiasm and passion, made every moment memorable and rewarding. In short, this tour is ideal for those looking for an educational and entertaining experience, away from the usual crowds. A real nugget for anyone interested in history and culture! I highly recommend this excursion to all lovers of live history.
