Hello, I plan to travel from Barcelona to Lourdes, France at the end of April. Does anybody have suggestions for the best way to do this?
I looked up train information but was unable to book the entire trip on-line. I am interested in flight options too, with the possibility of flying from Barcelona to Madrid and then flying. or taking a train, to Lourdes.
Thank you, Rick (Danville, CA)

Hi Rick
From Barcelona take a Vueling flight to Toulouse (vueling.com). Then from Toulouse take a regional train to Lourdes. It's about 2 hours and drops you off in the city center. I know of a driver who will drive you from Barna to Lourdes and stop at 2 Marian shrines along the way. It's $$$ but if you are interested, please PM me.
The one tip I can offer you on behalf of this Italy board is not to go through Italy. (^_^)
Rail Europe can book the later train departure (16:25 with 2 connections) from $103 per person on my test date of April 27. To buy an earlier departure, you might need to enter the pieces separately into their shopping cart. You can also compare prices or web function at www.capitainetrain.com.
To just see the route pieces, not to book tickets, we use DB train schedules.
