IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Depending on the season and the number of passengers, not all three routes might be operating. You can find out, sending us a quick note. If you are booking in a large group, we might be able to organize a specific pick-up point.
When reaching the destination in France, the busses will have to stand still for nine hours, so that the bus drivers will get their resting period, given by law. Therefore the departure times for the trip back to Germany and Switzerland will depend on the arrival times of the busses coming to France in the morning. Thus, departure times will be somewhere between 6.00 pm and 10.00 pm.
