What is the BALABUS(Bb) in Paris?
I posted a message under the heading 'Bus connection Paris' and got some terrific help but since then I have been studying my new Michelin map which has a list of every bus in Paris. I note that the Balabus goes from Gare de Lyon to La Defense.
Why does it not have a number? or is this the mysterious bus number 174 ?

The Balabus is a double decker tourist bus operated by the RATP that runs in the afternoon on Sundays and holidays during the summer.
Unlike those other double decker buses, the Balabus only requires a metro ticket to ride.

Many thanks Kerouac! It sounds like a fun ride with a view.
I see it only starts at 12h30 and runs until 20h30 but takes in a hell of a lot of places of interest.
Now I'm looking at the La Traverse de Charonne(boucle)which runs in a round trip from Gambetta.
Please if you would be so kind, confirm these times in English:
De 7h30 a` 20h30 du lundi au samedi et de 8h a` 20h30 les dimanches et jours feries.
