At the edge of the Béarn and Bigorre, not far from Lourdes, you'll find the beautiful caves of Bétharram.

The Chapel of Our Lady with lavish interior decorations, the Chapel of St Michael Garicoits, the Fountain of St Roch, and the various stations of the cross dotted along the verdant hill are wonderful places for meditation and silence...
