italy by bus
 
Hello,
I'm planning to travel europe with eurolines pass, but it has only crossboarders routes.
Can you please indicate the web pages of public transportation by bus for italy and france.
In italy I want to travel florence-rome-napoli-venice
And in france, paris-bordeaux
Thanks a lot for your help

I doubt that you will find buses between the points in Italy that you indicate, since they are extremely well served by fast and frequent trains.

I gather from the Eurolines Web site that the bus companies belonging to the scheme in Italy are Sena Bus, Lazzi Bus and Autostradale.

Same for France. Paris to Bordeaux is best served by the TGV, and if you plan well, you can often get a PREM fare for as low as 19 euro.

Why would you want to travel by bus?

The train would be faster and easier.
More time to drink Limoncello and eat gelato.

Hi SR,

>What is Prem fare for TGV train in france and how can I get it?<
PREMS are the very cheap discount fares.
See www.voyages-sncf.com

In Italy, see www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html
You want the Amica fares
