It will be our 1st time to lourdes and we can only go end jan or early feb %26#39;09. What can we expect during this time of the year?

Expect it to be very cold and quiet. However, some people prefer this to the crowds during the official pilgrimage season which follows Easter, when there are daily processions and pilgrimage masses at the grotto. The baths however are open all year round and during the winter months are available for 2 hours each afternoon.

Most of the hotels, shops and cafes near the sanctuaries close through the winter. Many places open for the few days around 11th February (Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes). There are normally processions too during this time.

Thank you for all your informations. I certainly have
to change my plans.
