CulturePope Leo XIV visit expected to boost Lourdes economy

Lourdes in southern France will be the second stop on Pope Leo XIV’s visit to the country after Paris. About 150,000 people are expected at his Sunday mass at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, while local businesses hope pilgrims’ spending on souvenirs, food and other goods will lift the economy.
