Immaculate Lourdes Series 9 

The Funiculaire du Pic du Jer, next to the Lourdes Sanctuary,

is probably the second most visited attraction in Lourdes, France.

The Pic du Jer Funicular, is

an ancient funicular railway 

 

…constructed in 1900. 

 

The funicular takes passengers to the Pic du Jer, 

  

 

 

…a summit in the Hautes-Pyrénées.

  

The observatory at the peak offers

a panoramic view of Lourdes, 

 

 

… the neighboring suburbs

…and  of the Pyrenees mountain range.



 

The Funiculaire du Pic du Jer was built- 





...to maximize the tourist potential of the region,

… when pilgrims started to come in great number after

the Virgin Mary's apparitions to Bernadette Soubirous.
