Traveling on a budget around France often means buying a second class ticket on the trains in France – but if you’re traveling on a budget through other countries Europe in addition to France you have another option, too: Eurolines buses. They’re not as fast as taking a train or flying from one city to another, but it’s just about the cheapest way you can get from country to country in Europe.
While you can’t take a Eurolines bus from one city to another in France (or in any country, for that matter – they’re meant to get you from country to country), there are Eurolines stations throughout France. This means that you don’t have to be in a big city in France in order to hop on a Eurolines bus destined for another European city in another country.
Not all of these stations will have service to every other Eurolines station in Europe – so you’ll need to find out what routes connect with each city depending on the one you’re in or closest to. But here are the addresses of the Eurolines stations in France so you can find the nearest one and ask them directly.
