Faithful reader gains travel tip

I’ve read and enjoyed Susan Spano’s work for at least a few years and was finally prompted to drop a note of appreciation after the story on Lourdes, France [“Slice of Heaven,” Sept. 7].

My wife and I are planning our fifth trip to France next year, and we were debating whether to include Lourdes on our itinerary.

Then Spano’s article leaps off the front page of the Travel section. Case closed.
