Did you know ?

Located in the town centre, the Halles de Lourdes are a perfect example of late 19th-century metal architecture and originally come from the Marché de la Pierre in Toulouse. Initially built in the “Pink City”, they were later sold to the town of Lourdes and rebuilt on Place du Champ Commun.
