Couvent de Saint-Gildard, Catholic convent in Nevers, France.
The Saint Gildard Convent houses the glass reliquary containing the preserved body of Saint Bernadette Soubirous in its main chapel.
Built in 1856 on the ruins of Saint Gildard's Abbey, the convent became the motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity where Bernadette lived from 1866 to 1879.
The museum within the convent displays photographs and artifacts illustrating Bernadette's life, from her time in Lourdes to her religious service in Nevers.
The convent offers accommodation for 200 guests, conference facilities for 250 people, and daily meals in dining rooms located on the first and second floors.
A replica of the Massabielle Grotto from Lourdes contains a piece of the original rock where the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette in 1858.
