Lourdes has a special place in the heart of Christians but can appeal to people of all faiths and backgrounds, and it's perfectly reachable from the French capital of Paris. Despite the fact that more than 400 miles separate the City of Lights from this small village, SNCF’s high-speed TGV trains can make the journey in under five hours.
Arriving in Lourdes, surrounded by the inspiring beauty of the Pyrenees mountains, you'll be able to take a walk around and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this special place, visiting sacred spots like the Grotto of Massabille and the Sanctuaire Notre Dame de Lourdes.
