Bus? Sep 20, 2008

Hi, have you considered a trip by bus? It must be less time-consuming - and probably cheaper - than passing from Paris. I think you can find specialised tour operators offering a direct Milan-Lourdes route. Good luck!

Milano - Nizza - Toulouse - Lourdes Sep 20, 2008

Hi Francesca,

A few years ago I went to Lourdes with my mum. We took a train in Cannes in the morning and arrived in toulouse at 4PM where we took a train to Lourdes.

Maybe you should check whether your parents can go from Milano to Nizza and take the train for Toulouse from there. If I remember well, there were several trains a day going from Toulouse to Lourdes.
