It was to Bernadette Soubirous, a simple and humble young girl, that the Virgin Mary chose to appear in Lourdes on several occasions in 1858. She presented herself as the Immaculate Conception.
Bernadette joined the Sisters of Charity of Nevers where she took care of sick and poor people. A poor young girl, chosen among all by the Virgin Mary, she will make her poverty a real wealth: "Jesus alone for Riches" (Sister Bernadette).
In the centre of Nevers, on the hill Saint-Gildard, the presence of the preserved body of Bernadette Soubirous attracted very early pilgrims from all over the world.
