WHAT TO SEE

The entire complex of religious buildings and sacred sites in Lourdes is referred to as the Sanctuary (or Sanctuaries) of Lourdes. It consists of 52 hectares of property and 22 places of worship.

Among the most notable sacred sites in the Sanctuary of Lourdes are the Grotto of Massbielle, where the apparitions occurred and pilgrims can bathe in the healing waters; the Basilica of the Rosary; and the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.

From March (Palm Sunday) to October, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is the goal of mass pilgrimages from Europe and other parts of the world (August is the most popular month for pilgrimages to Lourdes, so book your hotel early if you travel then).

Every day during this period, at 4:30pm, the Procession Eucharistique (Blessed Sacrament Procession) takes place, with pilgrims carrying banners along the Esplanade des Processions. Torch light processions are held nightly at 8:45 PM from the Massabielle Grotto.

It can be a spectacular sight with the majestic snowcapped Pyrenees in the background.

The mouse, chicken, pig and cow

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.   "What food might this contain?"  The mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed this warning: "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me.  I cannot be bothered by it."   The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers." The mouse turned to the cow and said, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"           ...

European supplier of Toyota auto parts, victim to a (BEC) scam, resulting in $37 million loss.

In 2019, Toyota Boshoku Corporation, a major European supplier of Toyota auto parts, fell victim to a Business Email Compromise (BEC) scam, resulting in a loss of approximately $37 million (¥4 billion). Cybercriminals impersonated a business partner of the Toyota subsidiary via email.

BEC scams like this rely on social engineering tactics rather than technical hacking. The perpetrators often impersonate trusted entities, such as executives or business partners, to deceive empl...
