How to get from Barcelona to France. Distance from Barcelona to other cities. Idbus buses

Some of the most popular and visited cities by tourists are Barcelona and Paris. Having visited the capital of Catalonia, tourists strive to continue their journey in romantic Paris. To do this, there are several ways to get from Barcelona to Paris on your own.

The plane is certainly the fastest and most convenient way to get from Barcelona to Paris, and, by the way, quite cheap. Many airlines offer cheap tickets, including Ryanair, AirBerlin, EasyJet, and the Spanish company Vuiling, based in Barcelona. Up to 11 planes a day fly to Paris every day (depending on the day of the week and season), so finding a more convenient flight will not be difficult. Flight duration varies from 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours.

The cheapest tickets in this direction

When looking for the cheapest tickets, it makes sense to pay attention to flights operating early in the morning or late in the evening. Tickets for them can be purchased at a minimal price. But you need to buy such tickets in advance, otherwise they simply may not be available. As a rule, cheap tickets sell out first.

From Barcelona to Paris by bus

One of the cheapest, but most time-consuming ways to get from Barcelona to Paris is by bus. Communication between the two cities is provided by the bus company Eurolines.

The cost of a one-way bus ticket depends on the age of the passenger. You can save on tickets by buying them immediately there and back.

The duration of the trip is about 15 hours.

There is a weight limit when transporting luggage on buses.

From Barcelona to Paris by train

Traveling by train is longer, but also more interesting than a quick flight by plane. Such a trip will cost more, since from December 15, 2013, the French (SNCF) and Spanish (RENFE) railways jointly launched high-speed trains between France and Spain. Tickets for high-speed trains are always expensive, but the journey takes only 6 hours 34 minutes. The price of tickets, as well as for an airplane, depends on the date of travel and the chosen class.

If you are planning a trip in advance, it makes sense to subscribe to the railway newsletter; quite often there are good offers and discounts.

You can save a little on train travel by purchasing a ticket for an overnight train to Paris with one change in Toulouse. Transfer time is 52 minutes. Tickets for such a train can be purchased from 50 euros, but you will have to spend the night sitting in a chair.

It’s worth noting that buying round-trip tickets will cost less.

From Barcelona to Paris by car

Most modern tourists prefer to travel around Europe by car. The cost of such a trip consists of car rental, gasoline costs and toll roads.

Hotels en venta en Antananarivo

The price of a rented car directly depends on the class of the car and the number of days of rent; the more days, the cheaper. Rental prices for small cars start from 30 euros per day.

Preliminary costs for gasoline and toll roads can be calculated on the French highways website. Costs for gasoline will be approximately 100 euros, for toll roads - about 75. In total, a car trip from Barcelona to Paris will be just over 200 euros. The benefit of a road trip is that for this amount 2, 3 or more people can travel along the route, and, accordingly, the cost of a “ticket” for each passenger is reduced. The duration of the trip is about 11 hours.

So, to summarize:

the fastest way is by plane and train;
the cheapest is a plane and a car;
the longest - car and bus.

Having studied all the options, each traveler will be able to independently choose the travel method that suits him.



My choice of resort in Spain leaned between Blanes and Lloret de Mar. But since last year I already had the opportunity to see Blanes and its Jardi Botanic Marimutra, we decided to stop at Lloret, especially since I love big cities, where there are many shops and all kinds of establishments. Our original plan included a fairly large circle: Lloret - Sete-Montpellier-Nîmes-Marseille-Lyon-Clermont-Ferrand-Bordeaux-Bearitz-Bilbao-Zaragoza-Barcelona-Lloret. But when we set off, it turned out that the distance was too great, and it was decided to shorten our journey to Sete-Montpellier-Marseille and Toulouse, and then return to Lloret through Andorra and Barcelona. However, before Sète, we decided to stop by Carcassonne and go through Beziers to Sète and once again admire the magnificent strip of sand that stretches at the entrance to this city.

It’s good that Russian-made aircraft were banned from flying to Europe. Now we are flying on a Boeing, which will take us to Barcelona, ​​from where we will go to Lloret, where, in turn, the inexpensive but quite decent Festa Brava hotel awaits us.

We liked the city right away. And we decide to spend two days here quietly. Swim (which only I will do, because the water is quite cool, but I like it - it burns the body quite well), take a walk, browse the shops and choose a rental company. I forgot to say that our tour is designed for 10 days, of which we are going to spend five on the trip. And the remaining three are back in beloved Lloret.

We try to contact rental companies - two ask for credit cards, one agreed to cash, but they began to pour noodles into our ears, saying that if we cross the Spanish border, a special device in the car will work via satellite and we will not be able to drive. Well then Gentlemen: “We shall go and find another car rental company.”

I have known about the Olympia company for a long time, and in the end we chose it. And for good reason: a Seat Clio with a diesel engine was offered to us by a female manager at the price of a class B car, although the car was a class C. Here, however, a heated argument broke out between my companion and me. I wanted to take a car with a deductible to save money, but Masha insisted that the insurance be Full Risk, plus she insisted that we pay additional technical insurance for traveling to the south of France. The manager said that if we do not go further than Carcassonne, then technical insurance will be 14 euros, and if further, then from 40 to 80 euros. I managed to persuade Masha not to pay more than 14 euros. As it turned out later, she was absolutely right. And if it weren’t for these 14 euros, God knows what kind of money I would have ended up with. Yes! Not all, but some women should be listened to...

So, let's take our Clio, load our things, and hit the road. Along the N-11 past Girona and Figueres we approach the French border, my beloved Francia. Last year we turned onto the N-260 and crossed the border, driving through the winding Pyrenees in the area of ​​Portbou and Serbera. Now they decided to cross the border in Le Pertus, an absolutely magical town, on the outskirts of which mountains rise and in general it has some kind of indescribable attractiveness. But okay, enough sentimentality. We pass through Perpignan and in the Narbonne area we leave for Carcassonne. I must say that I knew about Carcassonne for quite a long time. Back in the late 1990s, while working at Cosmos TV, I once had to translate a program about Carcassonne. Then I learned about this medieval fortress town that has survived to this day. But due to the fact that it is located on the side of the main roads, there was no way to get off the highway and get to it. Finally this opportunity presented itself.

We arrive in Carcassonne around 18-00. We are trying to find prices for hotels near the fortress itself. Too expensive. "Bon Marche", as the French say - 60-100 euros on average. Then we go to the central part of the city and here we find the Central Hotel, where they rent us a decent room for 32 euros. Well, then we go to the river, and through the “Vieux Pont” we find ourselves in the fortress itself. It must be said that the French are very good at improving the territory where they live. Superbly maintained river banks, along which I was able to run the next morning. Despite the well-developed city, the people we came across on the way were dressed rather modestly, to say the least.

The next day our path lies in Beziers, which left some rather mournful impression in my memory. As Masha explained to me, the reason for this is the Fortress, built in the Gothic style, the view of which opens at the entrance to the city. It must be said that in general Languedoc has some kind of indescribable charm, which can also be explained by southern maples (I don’t know exactly what these trees are called), thick trunks of which are found at the entrances and exits of almost all Languedoc towns and villages.

Now our path lies in Montpellier. But before that we stop in Sete and take photos on the beach that stretches in front of the entrance to the city. I had been to Sète before, but no further than the Triton Hotel. Having driven through the entire city this time, I was quite amazed by its beauty and its canals. As always, there was nowhere to park the car, so it was not possible to take photos of Seth either.

Montpellier is one of the many indescribably beautiful French cities. We especially liked its central square. Of course, we went shopping, went to the Virgin Megastore, as well as to clothing stores. I regret that I didn’t buy one silver ring with a black stone there.

Oh, what a miracle this France is! From Montpellier we go to Nîmes. If it weren’t for Masha, we would have driven through this city along the bypass road. But you need to know Masha. We return and, of course, find ourselves in a traffic jam. We drive through the center. Old Colosseum, beautiful buildings, park in the city center. Okay, but time is lost for other more valuable things. We're going to Arles. Not a bad town. We are trying to park the car near the wall in the old part of the city. But then it’s not a Frenchman who comes up to us, but for some reason an Englishman, and tells me that he also tried to park here, but he was warned that after 20-00 the police could take the car, and to return it he would have to pay 200 euros. Thanks uncle for the warning. I like this kind of solidarity among foreigners.

In Arles we finally check into a hotel, also for 30 euros, and the receptionist escorts me to the garage, where I leave the car for the night. We go to a restaurant where two respectable French businessmen, some lady with a dog and another married couple were having lunch at that time. The atmosphere was pretty good. And the lady with the dog, who periodically demonstrated her abilities, added to the charm. She kept repeating, turning to the little animal: “Cheri; c’est terminé; c’est fini?” To which the dog responded in a human voice: “oui oui oui.” It must be said that in general, the stay in Arles was accompanied by some kind of nervousness. And a broken condom, bought ahead of time in Lloret, added to the trouble. Well, be that as it may, we need to move on to Marseille. O Marcel, Marcel!

In the morning we leave Arles and pass the turn to Fosse, and there is a toll road ahead. Masha is relentless. We need to turn around. Sometimes, however, you need to listen to your inner voice, not women. Because, turning onto Fosse, we find ourselves in a terrible traffic jam that ruins all our plans. We risk not getting to Marseille at the right time. Next I try to do the following. I go to the right, and we find ourselves at the oil refinery. I stop the car and ask the first driver I come across how we can get onto the road leading to Marseille. Everything turns out, oddly enough, quite simple. We leave the factory territory, and we are again on the way to Marseille. We drive along magnificent bridges and coastal roads. The wind is so strong that it seems like the car is going to blow away. The first thing we do in Marseille is find underground parking and go to the pharmacy. Masha needs a pill. En Russi s’appelle “le jour apré,” I say to the young pharmacist and the woman pharmacist. At the same time, the only customer in the pharmacy, a young and pretty French woman, does not hide her curiosity. Ici ; la meme chose; Pilule de lendemain: they answer me. All this pleasure costs 7 and a half euros. Now Masha is calming down a little. The "Next Day" pill is at her disposal. And then she already began to believe in omens. There are too many pregnant women on our way in Marseille. Oh Marcel, Marcel.

We are trying to overcome the path up the mountain, from where “Notre Dame de la Garde” looks at us in all its splendor. Here we take a magnificent photo in which the faces of two random fellow travelers will forever be preserved, i.e. Masha and me. They say that taking photos before the wedding is a bad omen. Yes…. But what am I talking about?

Here in Marseille I bought an Atlas Routier and now, my navigator, then I realized that I was pretty good, fully armed. Moreover, we have to cover a long distance from Marseille to Toulouse. Our route to Toulouse lies through Avignon, Alès, Florac, Mende, Rodes and Albi. Avionnon is one of those towns that makes you fall in love the first time. Two student girls help us use a telephone card to call Moscow, where Masha’s daughter has fallen ill, and because of this Masha is becoming quite nervous. Okay, I'll have to give her a discount. As we leave Avignon, we see a panoramic view of the Palais des Papes. Then it becomes clear that Masha cannot go further. We have to look for a hotel. And we have already arrived in Alez. And it’s already nine o’clock in the evening. And all the hotels are closed. We are trying to do something - to no avail. We accidentally stumble upon the Premiere Classe Hotel, an unusual modern hotel. But the receptionist had already gone home. I talked with the workers who were staying at the hotel. And one offered me to check in using his credit card. It turns out that the hotel has a machine that, after debiting money from a credit card account, automatically issues a room number and a key card. I pay the worker. We check in, and I go to the workers to celebrate our happy check-in with a bottle of good French wine bought in Montpellier. Not all of the workers are French. Lots of Portuguese. “Ten years ago,” one tells me, “the French authorities did not allow foreigners into any place. Now, please.” He also, by the way, complained that everywhere in Europe, just like here, everything is diluted and the quality of the products is far from what it was before. I was pleasantly surprised by his wish addressed to me: “Je vous souhaite a bien s’installer en France” - a dit t’il. Unfortunately, I have the wrong profession, monsieur.

The next day we covered the 400 kilometer road to Toulouse in 3 hours and, of course, as always, we stopped along the way to drink coffee. But most of all I liked the coffee in Montpellier, which we drank in one of the city’s restaurants. The owners of the restaurant, hearing that we wanted coffee, answered us that “Nous n’est somme pas un bistro,” but nevertheless they poured coffee.

Toulouse turned out to be a completely unusual city. The surprise at the entrance was a black Toulouse man on a motorcycle, from whom we asked directions to the City Center and the tourist center. He not only showed us the way, but walked us to the bridge and pointed us in the right direction.

Toulouse is a city of students. There are a lot of young people. She's everywhere. And in the evening - on the banks of the magnificently beautiful Garonne River. Men and women lie on the grass, play volleyball, drink beer. Wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Ease in everything.

Masha’s navigator’s talent manifested itself in all its splendor on the way out of Toulouse the next day. She was perfectly oriented using the atlas, and all the way to Andorra we used only free roads that passed through fabulous French towns, and in front of us there were always mountains looming, which were the Andorra itself. We would have already been in Andorra and would have been climbing the steep cliffs higher and higher, but our Clio suddenly began to stall. Repeated attempts to start it did not bring results. And then, putting the car in reverse, I drove the car into the parking lot at the customs post at the entrance to Pas de La Casa. The customs post, as it turned out, consisted of one French building and one Andorran building. Having parked the car, I headed to the French and took with me the phone that was on my insurance policy. I tried to explain that we had a breakdown and I needed to call the rental company. I was told to wait, and when I approached again, they told me that they had already called those. help, which really scared me. Since I did not ask to call her, and such help, of course, will cost money. Then I went to the Andorran customs officers and asked them to call. With great reluctance and with great dignity, the officer allowed me to do this. Although these Spaniards are pompous, sometimes they are useful. At Olympia, they asked us to accurately describe the place where we were and told us to wait for a tow truck. About an hour later, a tow truck arrived, which was called by French customs officers. When I explained to the French technician that it was not I who called the tow truck, but the French, he became extremely angry. “C’est n’est pas mon faute” (It’s not my fault), I said. “Et pas a moi, non plus” (but not mine, especially), he said. As it turned out, the French automatically called him because they, like us, have all their zones of influence divided, and this section was served only by this company. Unexpectedly, we heard loud screams. It was an angry tow truck who took out his anger on the customs officers, because of whom he drove the journey in vain. Or maybe they just sent him away after he started download your license. Anyway, soon our tow truck came for us. A young boy with an interesting Portuguese name, Pines. He deftly loaded our Clio onto his tow truck. And we went to Andorra, where we were put on a bus and sent to Barcelona From which we arrived at night in a taxi to our Lloret.

The next day I safely received my deposit in Olympia, money for one day of unused rental and compensation for the taxi.

The remaining three days we enjoyed the gift of happiness, in particular, I enjoyed the scorching cold sea water, and Masha from our hotel metro d'hotel, whom we secretly nicknamed "The Extraordinary Concert", so he looked like the entertainer from Obraztsov's Extraordinary Concert, and who every now and then moved Maria from one table to another.

Next year, if there is work, we will go to Malaga, and from there to the west. But that will be another story...

“The dolphin and the mermaid, to be honest, they are not a couple....” I don’t know how appropriate it is to compare Paris with a dolphin, but Barcelona, ​​for sure, with its soul is similar to a mermaid or even a mythical siren. Monumental, classic Paris and romantic, eccentric Barcelona. They are so different!

Maybe because there is so little in common between them, many tourists who love diversity are drawn to go on excursions from Barcelona to France. But the most popular among “our” tourists is the excursion from Barcelona to Paris. And such obsessed tourists are not afraid even of the distance from Barcelona to Paris - 1012 kilometers. But this is slightly less than half the distance from Moscow to Paris. Moreover, even the fact that it takes at least a week to explore only Barcelona and its surroundings does not stop them, the same story with Paris... But, anyway, driving 1000 kilometers to Paris for a day, taking a photo with the Eiffel Tower in the background and back - this is of course cool. So that later, on a cold winter day by the fireplace at home, with a glass of hot glitwine, I would pleasantly remember this epoch-making excursion from Barcelona to Paris.

But this is yet to come, and now you are clearly concerned about other questions: how to get from Barcelona to Paris, are there tickets for the Barcelona-Paris train, or are there air tickets available from Barcelona to Paris?

By the way, it will be said that Paris is not the only place where a restless traveler can go from Barcelona. Around Barcelona there are so many interesting things within a radius of the same 1000 kilometers - Madrid, Girona, Figueiros, Zaragoza, Toledo, and then Lisbon is just a stone's throw away... Well, since Paris is Paris, it was decided irrevocably, to the places of military glory of the Russian Cossacks. And the Cossacks had only horses as their means of transport - now we have a more serious choice - between an airplane, a train or a bus, on our own or with an excursion.

It is important to remember that the best results are most often achieved through compromise.

Train

The Paris - Barcelona train may well be accepted as an option. Here you should pay attention that there are two types of Barcelona-Paris railway trains - high-speed and high-speed, the difference in travel time is almost two times.
Unfortunately, there is only one type of high-speed train from Barcelona to Paris that will suit you. This is the night train-Hotel Joan Miró, departing daily at 20:25 from Barcelona and arriving in Paris at 8:35, travel time 12 hours 10 minutes.

Having chosen to travel on this Barcelona - Paris train, you should decide on the cost of tickets.
The return price for a coupe with 4 seats is 236 euros, but this is an option for teenagers.
For adults, it’s better to pay an additional 30 euros and travel in tourist class with a minimum of amenities: a bench for your feet, a pillow for your head, a bottle of cold water and adjustable seats, which is important for a twelve-hour journey.

For other types of trains to Paris, you will need to connect at the nearest one in the city, for example in Figueres. However, this is not always convenient physically and financially.

Bus

Another option for solving the question of how to get from Barcelona to Paris is by bus.
If you like this option, keep in mind that it is most convenient to choose a night flight to make the trip seem shorter.
Departures daily from Barcelona-Sants station at 21:00.
Already at 12:00 the next day you will be in the city of your favorite women's perfume. Yes, it’s a bit long – it’s a 15-hour drive. But cheaper than by train.
The price of such a trip is 150 euros round trip.

Airplane:

The only thing cheaper than a bus is the Barcelona - Paris plane of low-cost airlines:
- Ryanair,
- EasyJet,
- Vueling.
The flight will cost you only 100 euros round trip, but this is if you buy tickets in advance (at least a month in advance).
Another disadvantage of these flights is very early or very late takeoffs and arrivals.
Flight time is 2 hours.

Let's summarize and make a brief analysis:

1) Airplane (based on round trip).
Costs 100 euros for tickets from the above-mentioned air carriers (in ordinary companies at least twice as expensive), transfers at airports - 50 euros.
Travel time is 8 hours (4 hours flights, 2 hours check-in, 1.5-2 hours receiving and waiting for luggage).
One of the inconveniences is night and morning vigils at airports.
2) Train (based on round trip).
Costs 250 euros per ticket, saving about 150 euros for 2 nights without paying for the hotel.
Travel time is 24 hours (but this is the time of night when you would be sleeping anyway!).
The inconvenience is sleeping half-sitting.
3) Bus (based on round trip).
The cost of the ticket is 150 euros, saving about 150 euros for 2 nights without paying for the hotel.
Travel time is 30 hours (and again this is the time of night when you would be sleeping anyway!).
The inconvenience is still the same - sleeping in a half-sitting position.

Most tourists are inclined to take the Paris-Barcelona train, these high-speed trains are too cute...

No matter how long you travel from Barcelona to Paris, sooner or later you will find yourself in the capital of France. There are so many poems, prose, paintings, and films devoted to Paris that the question of what is worth seeing in it needs to be addressed in a whole book, and not in this small article. But you simply must visit the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower! As in almost all capitals of the world, circular sightseeing buses with audio guides ply around the city; paying about 40 euros you will get a first idea of ​​the city.

In the center and at train stations, there are special kiosks to provide free consultations to tourists. There you can also get a free map of the city with comments in Russian and get acquainted with a huge list of excursions, from which you can choose a package according to the size of your wallet. And, no matter how many sights you see in Paris, you will probably plan even more interesting excursions from Barcelona to France for the future. But the main thing in this matter is not to get carried away and not be late for your return flight to Barcelona, ​​where new meetings, impressions and relaxation await you in this Catalan pearl of Spain.
