About House of St. Bernadette

The Maison Paternelle de Sainte Bernadette in Lourdes, France, is the home where Saint Bernadette Soubirous lived with her family after the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1858.

Today, it is preserved as a museum showcasing furniture, personal belongings, and photographs that offer insight into Bernadette’s life and times. Visitors can explore the rooms where she lived and reflect on her journey from a humble miller’s daughter to a revered saint. Open daily, the house provides a unique, intimate experience for pilgrims and history enthusiasts. The entry fee is €2.50 for adults, while children under 10 can visit for free. A stop here is essential for those tracing the footsteps of Saint Bernadette and seeking a deeper understanding of her life and legacy.
