First intercontinental trip

You'll lost two days struggling with jet lag, anon.

Honestly I would rather stay 3-4 days in Madrid and catch a flight to Paris to stay there for another 3-4 days if you've never been to Europe instead of driving across two countries looking at the boring highway.
As the other anon said you will lose at least one full day struggling with the Jetlag.

This is retarded.
Even if you don't sleep on the plane, just stay awake (by going outside and doing something) until the time you would normally sleep back home. You will barely be more tired than normal the next day.

Done this multiple times flying from Aus to US, Aus to Europe, BsAs to Europe.

Why the hell would you go to Lourdes

No idea, it's the itinerary I was informed about

if you want to spend an entire day of a weeklong vacation just go to the USA where the roads aren't (often) tolled and an entire industry of travel centers, cheap hotels and roadside attractions are suited specifically for these kinds of trips. Europe by car is great, but you should be trying for maybe only one hour on average (preferably less) per day rather than five.
