Space housing a reconstruction of the Massabielle cave, as well as the Bernadette museum

In 1853, Monsignor Dufêtre, Bishop of Nevers, bought a piece of land around Saint-Gildard church where, in 1856, many buildings were constructed to house the community of the Sisters of Charity. It is in the chapel of the Espace Bernadette that the body of Bernadette Soubirous rests in a shrine. Beatified in 1925, she was canonized on December 8, 1933 by Pius XI. You will discover in this space a reconstruction of the Massabielle cave, as well as the Bernadette Museum. Thousands of pilgrims and visitors come here to meditate.

C'est donc la maison mère des sœurs de la Charité de Nevers, qui abrite la châsse de Sainte Bernadette. Bernadette Soubirous a passé les 13 dernières années de sa vie dans la Congrégation. Nous avons eu accès à la Chapelle où la Sainte repose, désormais. Mais aussi à l'infirmerie où elle vécut les derniers temps. Le noviciat. Le jardin en terrasse avec la chapelle Saint Joseph où elle fût enterrée de 1879 à 1925, puis au fond du dit jardin, la statue Notre Dame des Eaux.
L'ensemble des bâtiments est imposant et un peu retiré près du parc Roger Salengro.

Magnifique que de venir rendre visite à cette grande Sainte!
Connaître son histoire , se recueullir auprès d'elle, se laisser porter et déposer ses intentions.
A voir absolument.

Had a great stay and was so blessed to see St. Bernedette's uncorrupted body and to pray infront of it.
Rooms were comfortable. Nice garden, well maintained.
Françoise was helpful as well.
