This artificial concrete cave is raised by the widow (-1914) of Jules Marot, Niortais manufacturer of grain sorters, following a railway accident transporting mainly Niortais towards the pilgrimage of Lourdes; called miraculous, Because it results in only a few minor injuries.
It then becomes every Sunday, in the beautiful season, a place of pilgrimage where the inhabitants are invited by the owner of the places to come to collect. The statue of Our Lady has disappeared, but we can see an ex-voto «cure obtained».
In the 1990s, the chapel of Notre-Dame de la Cressonnière, located near the cave and the watercress of the Lambon, was destroyed.
There are two other caves in Lourdes, one in Niort, near the hospital and the other in Bessines.
