Lourdes tourism source:
"The present parish church was built between 1875 and 1903, replacing the church of St. Peter, located market square (currently Peyramale Square), church attended by Bernadette Soubirous and was destroyed by fire in 1904. It contains remnants of the story of Bernadette Soubirous: the baptismal font above which she was baptized on January 9, 1844 and the tomb of Bishop Peyramale, parish priest of Lourdes at the time of the Apparitions."
