Practical tips
Long-distance bus stops are not always right outside a train station. Before leaving, open your e-ticket, note the precise name of the departure and arrival stops, and find them on a map.
When budget comes first, the bus is often the best value. If arriving quickly matters more, look at the table on this page: it puts durations and price ranges side by side so you don't overpay.
The lowest fares sell out first, especially on Friday evenings, Sunday evenings and during school holidays. Book as soon as your dates are set and keep the e-ticket available offline.
Traffic around Paris can lengthen the journey. If you have a connection, a train or an appointment afterwards, allow a generous buffer rather than aiming for the tightest schedule.
Show up a little before the scheduled time with your ticket ready on your phone and a charged battery. Locate the bay or boarding spot, and check the destination displayed on the vehicle before you board.
