PIC DU JER
(bd d'Espagne)
When the crowds of pilgrims get too much, you can take refuge on
the rocky 94m-high pinnacle of the Pic du Jer, which offers panoramic views of
Lourdes and the central chain of the Pyrenees.
There are two routes to the top: a punishing three-hour slog along a signed trail,
or a speedy six-minute ride on the century-old
funicular
(bd d'Espagne; adult/child
return €9/6; 10am-6pm Mar-Nov & winter holidays, 9am-8pm mid-Jul-Aug)
. We'll
leave it up to you to decide which is the more rewarding.
Take bus 2 from place Monseigneur Laurence.
