Last Sunday, 9/5/10, my husband and I followed your directions on the Paris book for getting to Auvers. When we arrived to the Pontoise gare, we called a taxi ( the number listed on the book)because the bus said "hors de service"( out of service). We waited for the taxi for 20 min. nervously because there was a group of rowdy north African men loitering around us.No taxi. No bus came either. So we headed back to Paris. Is there no transportation to Auvers on Sundays?

Many places inFrance do not have bus and limited taxi service on SUndays. We were stranded 2 yrs ago on the French Riveria at 2pm during summer, go figure. We were close to frantic after 3 hrs.It took us 4 hrs to finally locate a store/restaurant that would call a taxi for us, they simply refused eventho we offered to pay them alot for the call. Sometimes things just do not make sense. You are not alone.
