Dijon - Arc sur Tille transportation
 
Is there a bus system from Arc s/Tille to Dijon and surrounding areas so that we won't have to rely on the family's car to get around?

I paid 88 Euros for my aller-retour on the TGV from Paris to Dijon. Is this a good rate?

Hi,
Load this PDF document to get all the lines from and to Dijon: http://www.cotedor.fr/jahia/Jahia/pid/473 (click on the little gardener on the right hand side)
Dijon goes to Arc sur tille with bus n°35 36-37 and 38 not bad!

The highest rate Paris Dijon is usually 50.50€ and can get down to 25€ with prem's ticket.(even last minute for tomorrow at 20€!)

Thank you so much! I have downloaded la guide horaire and will take it with me.

How did you find such low rates? I searched SNCF.com Gare de Lyon to Dijon Ville for 16/18/06 11:54 TGV, return on 21/08/06, 12:06 TGV Duplex.

Should I be looking elsewhere?

The 88.50 is for 1 adult and 1 child (age 6). I'll keep checking before I leave and hopefully I'll find a lower fare.

The PREM'S (discount) tickets to which Coco refers are only available online and can be booked up to 90 days in advance. They sell out fast and are gone for the specific trains you chose. A bargain "last minute" fare appears when there are seats that have gone unsold. Don't count on getting any. This is high travel season. The longer you wait to book, the more you're likely to pay.

Hi,
Thank you for the clarification. It looks like my fair was middle/high range for two people.

I've read the detailed posts about booking on SNCF, so I think I'm okay.

Thanks again!
