Practical tips
Before choosing the train, check the real time difference with the bus. If the gap is small, the bus saves you a good amount of money that you can keep for your stay in Bordeaux.
Read the departure stop address on your e-ticket carefully. A bus station, a car park or a roadside stop can be in a different place from the train station.
The lowest fares go first, especially on Fridays and before holidays. Book as soon as your dates are set to lock in the best price and the departure time that suits you.
Get to the departure point a little before the scheduled time. This gives you time to find the right bay or spot, load your luggage and avoid any stress.
Download your e-ticket to your phone before leaving, in case the signal is weak. Also keep a screenshot and an ID document within easy reach.
