About Lourdes
Two hours east of the coast in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Lourdes is the second most visited pilgrimage site in Europe after Rome. The Sanctuary occupies the meadow beside the Gave de Pau where the grotto stands; the hotels crowd the streets that climb from it, and beyond the town the valleys of Cauterets and Gavarnie open towards the high mountains. The railway station receives pilgrim trains from across Europe, but the connection from the Basque Coast means two changes and most of a day.
From Biarritz station the drive takes about 125 minutes on the motorway, at the price confirmed at booking, to any address in Lourdes: the Sanctuary, the hotels of the Boulevard de la Grotte or the station for an onward train.
Highlights
- The Sanctuary and the grotto of Massabielle
- The torchlight procession every evening from April to October
- The castle of Lourdes and the Pyrenean museum
- The Pic du Jer funicular and the valleys of Cauterets and Gavarnie

At the platform exit, on the forecourt side, with the car parked in the short-stay area a few metres away. Biarritz station is a small station with a single exit, and a WhatsApp message on arrival tells you where the car is. Count 125 minutes from there to Lourdes.

How much is a transfer from Biarritz Train Station to Lourdes?
Long-distance fares are set for each booking rather than listed: give your date and the address of your hotel or the Sanctuary gate in the form, and Anthony comes back with one all-inclusive price for the car, tolls and the 125-minute drive included, for up to four pilgrims.
Can you accommodate a wheelchair on the transfer?
A folding wheelchair fits in the boot of the Tesla Model Y alongside the luggage; mention it when you book so Anthony can plan the loading.
Can you drop us at a specific gate of the Sanctuary?
Yes. Give the gate or the hotel when you book: the Saint-Michel gate is the usual drop-off for the esplanade, and the Saint-Joseph gate is closest to the Grotto and the baths for passengers who walk with difficulty.
