A chauffeur’s advice

What we know about Pau-Pyrénées Airport

  • The IDELIS 17 bus line runs neither on Sundays nor on public holidays: a taxi or a private hire car booked in advance is then essential.
  • For Lourdes (about 40 km), a direct private transfer avoids any change and is markedly faster than a train journey with a connection.
