Lourdes, France
The Lake of Lourdes is a completely separate place to where St. Bernadette saw the Virgin Mary. She saw her close to the river Gave, in a place that was then known as the Massabielle. When in Lourdes, people do go to the lake of Lourdes, but it is only a tourist attraction for activities and sight seeing, but has nothing to do with the apparitions or the religious aspects of Lourdes.
Going to Lourdes is a pilgrimage, a visit to a holy place. So while on a pilgrimage to Lourdes or any holy place, you would be doing things like say prayers and going to religious services. In Lourdes you would also visit places associated with St. Bernadette.
Lourdes is a famous town in the south of France, where millions of Christian pilgrims go every year.
