Espace Bernadette Soubirous Nevers, Religious sanctuary in Nevers, France
The Espace Bernadette Soubirous contains the preserved body of Saint Bernadette in a glass reliquary next to the main altar of the chapel.
The Sisters of Charity of Nevers transformed their motherhouse into this sanctuary in 1970, converting the former convent rooms into accommodation for visitors.
The sanctuary maintains exhibitions and a museum detailing Saint Bernadette's life, from her experiences in Lourdes to her religious service in Nevers.
Visitors can access the chapel daily between 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, with accommodation available for up to 200 people.
The sanctuary features a replica of the Lourdes grotto, constructed in 1884, containing an authentic rock piece from the original Massabielle grotto.
