Grotto of Massabielle - This is the grotto where Bernadette Sourbirous had her visions in 1858; the waters from the spring in the grotto are believed to cure the sick. The grotto isn't large, but there will be lines of pilgrims, waiting to walk around the spring. Kids will need to be quiet in the grotto, and dress appropriately.
