The perfect Italian campsite for Pope-watching
The current Pope (Pope Benedictus XVI) will visit Lourdes this year as part of the area’s 150th anniversary. In 1858 people started their pilgrimages to the holy place, and now over six million make the trek. This special anniversary will see celebrations and festivals all around the mountains there – and the arrival of the Pope in September is a definite highlight. With its ideal location, Camping Soleil du Pibeste - just 7km from Lourdes - will be well-placed for easy access into the town and a chance for a 'ring-side' seat for the celebrations if you are planning a holy pilgrimage during this special year.
