Hi V,
Paris to Marseille is about 8 hr by road.
By train it takes 3:16 hr and costs 25E if you buy your tickets as early as 60 days in advance at www.sncf.com.

I agree with Morgan, you can't find buses cheaper than the train in France for frequent, long-distance runs. The discount advance-purchase fares on SNCF are ridiculously cheap (note Ira's post). There wouldn't be any demand for buses between those points due to the train. Perhaps you can cobble together various bus routes, but I think you should forget that. Easyjet used to fly between Paris and Marseille, also, so you could check them, as you can get some very cheap fares on them (like 10 euro), but they may have stopped that route due to the cheap discount fares from the train.
