Inside a chapel at the church of St Gildard, St Bernadette lies in a glass coffin. Exhumed thrice, her body showed no decay and was well-preserved. She has laid in her crystal resting place since 1925.

`I was totally enhanced with the movie “The song of Bernadette” when I first seen it in 1963,needless to say I also own a copy, and taught all my grandchildren about Saint Bernadette.I will never be able to visit her,knowing all that I do know about her, leave’s me privalged in a holy way.

My name is Jack Vink, author of Banished to the Ribbons of Concrete and since leaving a message here as to my visit to Nevers I have received many questions regarding the trip to the convent of St. Gildard. May I suggest you contact Bill Waters who knows much more than I about this most inspiring place. His email is listed on this site. To see Bernadette is worth any travel
problems one might encounter. Enjoy your trip.
June 4, 2016 at 8:09 pm
Dear Jack Vink,
My name is Jean Paul Bayou. I went to visit ST.BERNADETTE before my Kidney Transplant Operation in 2012. And I did make a promise to her and said if I am succeded in the Operation, I will come to visit her again. The first time I came over with my Brother and sister. This time I would like to come on my own to pay my respect personally to ST.BERNADETTE. Would you be kind enough to guide me how to get to Nevers by EURO STAR please.
June 28, 2013 at 12:06 pm
My name is Jack Vink, an author and feel I must post a comment on this site. I visited the inspiring St. Gildard convent and walked the beautiful garden in quiet contemplation before entering the chapel to see St. Bernadette in her final resting place. She indeed is still beautiful and you know in your heart she was the chosen one. If you believe in God nothing more needs to be said. Years ago, almost forty in total I remember watching a movie “Song of Bernadette.” which tells the story of this most remarkable person. I knew from that day I would eventually visit Lourdes
and the Sisters of Nevers at the St. Gildard convent. When I was there in 2012 it was if I were in a holistic blister of peace. I felt so alive and my heart was filled with love and warmth for all to see. The trip here from anywhere in the world is worth the time and effort. I shall never forget standing next to her as she sleeps decade after decade looking like she might awake anytime. If only everyone could see her perhaps the world would not be such a wicked place. God Bless all of you who read this.

Is it alright if I cite a few of your posts so long as I give credit and sources
back to wordpress.com? My blog is on the exact same focus as yours and my readers would definitely
benefit from a lot of the knowledge you give here.
Feel free to let me know if this would be fine.

As long as you cite the source back here to Travelling Cam, that should be all right. Do provide us a link. Thanks.

Nobody could know the secret that dwells in my home here in America, because I know few would believe me, but if anyone is willing to believe that God rewards huge blessings to all who ask, my secret would be revealed, this secret is connected to none other than your Saint Bernadette, but the secret will only be revealed if someone truly is willing to believe. I will reveal no more unless someone does.
November 29, 2012 at 6:16 am
How far is it rom Paris to see Bernadette. I have twenty fout hours there can i do it in that amont of time. what would be the best way
November 30, 2012 at 5:20 am
This question has been previously answered by Bill Waters in the below comments list. Here is a copy/paste of it:
Its very easy to get from Paris to Nevers, from Brecy or Gare de Lyon, to make the most of your day trains depart around 7.00am arriving Nevers between 9.00am -9.30am. The convent is not far from the station, just follow sigs saying Espace de Bernadette, or easier still just get a cab! The chapel where Bernadette lies is closed between 12,00 0 2.00pm but the gardens museam are still open. You can rent a little guide book from the Nuns. You can picnic lunch in the grounds of if you exit the gate next to the gatehouse and walk through the park there is a cafe less than 10 mins away. There is not much to see in the town. Hope you enjoy your visit, God bless.
July 16, 2012 at 3:03 am
Its a long time now that I’ve visited Lourdes/Nevers and haven’t been too clear of what order the convent of St. Gilard belongs to – could you tell me please which order it is? I believe that she was at school with the Benedictines?
March 25, 2012 at 11:36 pm
is photography allowed inside the convent,. ..i.e. to take photos of st bernadette..
March 29, 2012 at 6:40 am
Hi Richard. No, it is not allowed to take photos of St Bernadette.
You will find photos on google: St Bernadette of Lourdes
February 27, 2012 at 4:46 am
I am currently not able to travel, but one day I plan to come there once while I still live in this world, I have a very special reason for visiting Sister Maria Bernard, a reason like no other ( don’t ask, I’ll just say what she said to all that asked, “it’s between me and her”), okay, it’s not a direct quote, but you get the picture
February 27, 2012 at 1:16 am
Hi! We are going to London on April. From London we plan to fly to our lady of Lourdes what flight and what’s the nearest airport in Lourdes? From Lourdes we want to go to nevers? How far is it? Is there a plane that flies from Lourdes to nevers? From nevers we fly to Paris. Can you tell me how far is Lourdes to nevers to Paris via train and by plane? Thanks
February 27, 2012 at 8:04 am
Hi Judy. Some of your questions have been previously answered here. Please read the comments below, especially by Bill Waters.
February 20, 2012 at 10:40 pm
I visited there in 1965 ( Lourdes) and i am 100% sure that her body was on display in the church there. That would have been in the summer of 1965. I cant seem to find info on the body ever being on display other than Nevers.?
February 21, 2012 at 6:50 am
Bernadettes body has never been to Lourdes,
January 10, 2012 at 12:03 am
Hi a friend and I planning to visit Lourdes in April, and thinking of going to visit Nevers as well when we back from Paris.
Can anyone tell us if the convent or the chapel opening time , especially on Sunday.
January 10, 2012 at 7:51 am
This question has been previously asked, and was answered by Bill Waters. Please read the comments. I have reproduced the answer here; but please read the comments before asking:
The convent is open on Sunday, closed at lunchtime 12.00 – 1.00 or thereabouts. You can also stay in the convent if you contact the nuns in advance. Google Convent of St Gildard and you’ll get directed to the website.
Enjoy your visit, email me if you require anything else.

This may seem like an unusual question, but can you tell me if there have been any recent appearances by our little seer in recent times? I know Mary appeared to Bernadette, so is it possible for Bernadette to have made an appearance in some way at the convent. Did anyone see her?

Is it easy to book a train – back and forth? We do not speak French…..
How far is the Chapel of St. Gildard from the train station in Nevers? How about the Paris Brecy station from the city (Paris) itself?
Many thanks for the kind assistance

hi,
We have one free day in Paris so we are planning to visit St. Bernadette. I’m just wondering if the church will be open on late december (29th,30th,31st of december or 1st january). What would be the best date to visit?
Also is the church within walking distance from the station? and do you know if there is any local tour to take us around the historical and pilgrimage places in nevers?
Thank you so much

July 26, 2010 at 10:31 am
Adele,
Your travel times Paris to Nevers on Saturday are limited. I’ve looked at this for you.
Trains are direct, no changes required.
Depart Paris Gare Lyon at 07.01 arrive Nevers 08.55
Depart Paris Gare Lyon at 09.01 arrive Nevers 10.55
Depart Nevers 17.58 arrive Paris Gare Lyon 19.50
This is the earliest train you can get back to Paris that day.
Hope this helps you,
Bill
July 26, 2010 at 9:48 am
Adele,
Take an early morning train from Paris to Nevers. If you are able you can walk to the convent or take a taxi from the station. The chapel where St Bernadette lies is closed from 12.00 noon until 2.00pm. You can explore the gardens and the little chapel (St Joseph’s) where she was buried outwith these hours. You can get a guide book for a couple of euros from one of the nuns. I hope you will have a wonderful pilgrimage, please say a prayer for me when you are there.
Bill

October is fine, if you contact the convent in advance you could likely stay there. Though there are plenty of hotels in Nevers.
There are guide books in all languages to assist you round the grounds.
Have a wonderful time, it’s beautiful, and so is St Bernadette.
Please say a prayer for me in the chapel, Thank you, Bill

July 3, 2010 at 11:01 pm
Hi, Could anyone tell me if October would be a good time to visit Saint Gildard’s? and would the guest house/pilgrimage house be open then? I tried to find out on their website but it’s mostly in French which I do not understand. I would be grateful for help.
July 3, 2010 at 11:14 pm
The site exists in english:
http://www.sainte-bernadette-nevers.com/anglais/frespace.htm
… where it mentions that it is open all-year round. I don’t know if October is a good time, but perhaps a reader here can advise you on that.
June 25, 2010 at 2:08 pm
Hello Iva. This is but a humble photoblog, a recording in images of places visited. Please inquire at the link you posted in your comment, although I’m afraid correspondence could be in french. Otherwise, perhaps a reader here can assist you in your quest.

September 7, 2009 at 5:12 am
hello!
can you please give me instructions on how to get to Rue Saint-Gildard Nevers, France where St. Bernadette lies? we will be in Lourdes…we just want to take a train…do we need to stay overnight there? thank you and God bless…
September 7, 2009 at 6:27 am
It would be best for you to take the train back to Paris, and from there, take the train to Nevers.
From the Yahoo forum (reply by marketwo):
Take a night train from Lourdes to Paris, and then take the 2 hours train from Paris to Nevers the following day.
http://www.voyages-sncf.com/
From the train station, see the map on this post: https://travellingcam.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/nevers-city-map.jpg

I have posted a photograph of the city map of Nevers here. The gare routiére is located at point A3, the gare SNCF at A4, the transports urbains bus at C3, and the taxis at B4. (Click on the map to have a close-up view of the area).
The chapel seems to be walking distance from the gare routiére at point A3 and the the gare SNCF at point A4. There is a taxi stand indicated on the map at the gare SNCF.

Hi
I am visiting nevers in November, how far is the chapel from Nevers Train Station and how do i go there?
July 1, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I went to Nevers by car, so I cannot answer this question, but perhaps someone else here can. The Nevers train station is located on Rue Saint Charleville and the Espace Bernadette is at 34 Rue Saint-Gildard.
June 12, 2009 at 10:21 am
Hi,
Taking photographs inside the chapel is NOT allowed. However, if it is for a specific reason and as long as St Bernadette’s casket is not photographed, it may be allowed.
Suggest you seek out Sr. Isabelle to ask permission, or If your there 1st 2 weeks in September, find Sr Margaret Mary and she’ll guide you
June 11, 2009 at 1:37 pm
hi folks
could you email me picture of inside St. Gildard Chapel?
Thanks
Robert
June 12, 2009 at 4:31 am
Hi Robert,
I looked through my photo archives and through the internet and could not find any images of the interior of the Chapel, except St Bernadette’s crypt. I am going to France this summer, I can’t promise anything but I’ll see if I can pass through Nevers …
If anyone here has photographs of the Chapel interior, please email Robert: cny91130 (at-sign) charter.net
May 31, 2009 at 3:27 pm
DHH, you are a real star! I’m amazed at how quickly you respond to questions. I have just returned from pilgrimage starting in Paris (Rue de Bac and Chappele de St Vincent de Paul, onwards to Nevers where we stayed in the convent then to Lourdes. I was the courier which is a bit of a hobby of mine. I’d be more than happy to assist any individuals or groups if required. Just ask, if I don’t know the answer, I’m quite sure I’ll know someone who does. I’m at bill@danyboy.plus.com
