If you are traveling into Paris and would like
to take the high speed train,TGV, into Lourdes,
it is important to make a reservation!
I was told that you can only make a reservation
as far as 3 months in advance only
(but check - as rules change all the time!)
If you don't make a reservation,
the train could fill up,
you may not be able to book the day,
time or class that you want or you may only
be able to catch a train with multiple stops,
or get on a sleeper train,etc...Not fun!
*The website for non -Europeans
is called Rail Europe.
Their website is: www.RailEurope.com
Phone number: 1-800-622-8600
They are an agency based out of White Plains , NY.
They offer live help 7 days a week, and their hours are:
Mon- Fri 9:00 - 7:30pm EST
Sat and Sun - 9:00 - 5:00pm EST.
I found them extremely helpful in the past,
they will help you with all your train tickets and
send them to you in advance!
There are 4 trains daily that leave for Lourdes!
Heads up! Be prepared to be put on hold for some time,
until an agent picks up the phone. UGH!
