Lourdes and Global Health Resorts Across Europe and Asia
The article surveys Lourdes potential government closure amid pilgrimages and compares it with Beaupre and other European spas, including Marienbad, Aix, Wiesbaden, and Baden Baden, plus Swiss and Italian sites. It notes pilgrims, cures, and commerce tied to these health resorts, and mentions Benares in India as an even older center of healing. It also cites Morgan, Victoria, and Edward VII as examples of patronage and fashion in health travel.
