Guided Tour - Café


Once through the front door, going forward and turning left around the corner will bring you to one of the most important areas of the Hospital - the Café! For the last frew years this area has had several nicknames, mainly based around who's in charge. It's been Cafe en Gave, Wendy's and currently operates under the title So-Sue-Me...

This is the area where, tea, coffee, sandwiches and sympathy are dispensed by Sue and her tireless team. At mealtimes the Café will serve food to roughly 150 people.

On your left at this point is an area used to store voitures, the large blue buggies used to transport the sick from place to place in Lourdes. They are also used for relaxing in by the helpers, and occasionally for a quick nap! This area is also used for people to have their tea, as this group is doing here:

There are also doors to a sunny area outside, where people can relax on their breaks and enjoy the sun, as we can see in the photo below.

The Café is also the first place visited in the morning for all helpers, to get breakfast and meet your workmates. It's also a prime social area, and when the odd practical joke is played, it's usually concocted & executed here!
