Resumo: Our intention is to explain what Lourdes is and why people come to visit it. A walk through its symbols and buildings allows us to understand that the tourists, visitors, pilgrims and volunteers who come here from all four corners of the world are witnesses to hope and charity. A walk through Bartrčs widens the vision of the route taken by Bernardette as the first pilgrim. This Mariana city, as an international centre for pilgrims and volunteers, enjoys a spiritual, artistic, cultural, natural, landscape and tourist richness. This richness, lived and shared on the basis of generosity and gratitude, ensures the comprehensive training of the volunteers, strengthening their human development at the same time as perfecting their French.
