Paris bus system on line
 
Hi all,
I know there is a Paris city bus system on line where you can put in your destination and starting point, and the system will tell you what bus to take, but i forgot what it's called, and ususally when i google search I canta seem to find it.
thanks for your help

Wow, thanks for that site. This is fantastic. I've always wanted to try to the bus in Paris, but it was always a little confusing to me. With this site I can actually print out really easy directions and the buses to use. This is great.

I like to carry "Le Bus" by L'Indispensable. This is a pocket sized guide with routes of all of the lines, available at tourist shops and bookstores.
Very, very handy.

Let me put in a plug for the autobus...it is a great way to get your bearings around the city and do some free sight-seeing as well. The Metro is wonderful and typically (but not always) faster, but a bus is a great choice. Remember also that if you can get within a short distance of your destination it's often not necessary to worry about too many changes/transfers because the city is so walkable. Sorry if that's stating the obvious. I just love taking the bus! It has been way too long since I was in Paris to do it!
