Paris to Lourdes by train or flight

Every option, compared

Door-to-door times (flights include the time at the airports). Fares are typical ranges from the cheapest seat to the premium one.

• Train, TGV inOui from Montparnasse: Two or three a day; the direct ones take about 4 h 45-5 h, others change at Bordeaux.
• Flight, Flight Orly–Tarbes-Lourdes + shuttle or taxi: About 1 h 20 in the air; the airport is 12 km from Lourdes.
• Train, Intercités de nuit sleeper from Austerlitz: Couchettes of four or six; leaves Paris in the evening and reaches Lourdes in the morning. Check that it runs on your date: works close the line on some nights.

Booking links open the route on the country's transport booking site for trains, buses, boats and transfers, and a flight search for flights, dated about two weeks out; change the date there.
