My family including 3 children aged 5-10 are staying in a village 25km North-East of Toulouse in August. I am keen to show them Lourdes but wonder if it is possible to drive there and back in a day. Is the road very twisty as I have a daughter prone to car-sickness? I am also considering going by train,is there a good carpark close to the station in Toulouse?

I saw a fairly large car park next to the station in Toulouse. I can%26#39;t tell you how much it costs, as I took the metro to and from the station when I stayed there a little while ago.
I can tell you that the traffic in the area seemed absolutely horrendous at 5pm on a Friday evening.
It%26#39;s a couple of hours from Toulouse to Lourdes by train and a distance of around 170km, so the driving time will also be around 2 hours, but add to that your 25km into Toulouse and getting around the city I think you could be looking at nearly a three hours drive. I cannot comment on the road as I have only ever used the trains in that area.
Hope that helps a bit.
