Driving from Paris to Lourdes

Since July 14, we will be driving from Paris to Lourdes. We also will go to Azur. There is any suggestion about going more places? In July 20 we will be in Austria. Thanks in advance!

you do not have much more time for seeing other areas. If driving, you will be going through the Loire valley with its chateaux and the Dordogne with its caves and medieval castles.

Paris to Lourdes is probably at least a nine-hour drive.

You won't have time for seeing much of anything. That is an enormous amount of driving (assuming that by Azur you mean you're heading to the Côte d'Azur) in such a short period. Frankly, it sounds hellish to me.

As for stopping and eating something, your best bet will be to stop at an aire along the autoroute and grab a sandwich and a drink and fill up the tank again.

Also, this is a VERY busy weekend. Lots of people on the road, which will make the trip even longer. I would very much rethink this plan.

Are you renting a car?

In terms of rental and tickets, I think that it is a little late to rethink the plan.
