Bartrès

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bartrès is a village and commune of the Hautes-Pyrénées département, in southwestern France.

The village is famous for its association with St Bernadette Soubirous. St. Bernadette was sent there in her infancy to a wet nurse, and again in her early teens to work for the same lady as a shepherdess. Today, the village is visited by numerous pilgrims who come to pray at the village church and venerate a relic of the saint.
