Bus travel Paris to Nice

Is it possible to take a bus from Paris to Nice. Eurolines will not work.

John,

I'm not sure if that's possible, but suspect it would be a LONG TRIP with many stops!

Is there some reason you can't travel by train? Travel via TGV would be the best method.

Cheers!

There is only regional bus service in France. SNCF (French national rail) has a monopoly on long distance overland service.

While the standard fare for Paris-Nice TGVs is quite high, if you book well in advance (up to three months allowed) at www.tgv-europe.com, you can get very cheap Prem's fares. There are some tricks to booking. Tell us when you'll be taking that ride and we'll give you booking instructions.

If you book far enough in advance, you can get very cheap fares on easyJet for either Orly-Nice or CDG-Nice. However, it's much more relaxing to take the train, see the countryside, and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time.

I use an electric scooter and flying is really a pain and using the train is also. On the train, there is really no where to put the scooter. Bus is better. I can put it in the belly of the bus, out of the way. That is why I was asking about a bus.
