    Salut!

    My father lives an hour and a half away (vicinity of Brive).

    Bus travel seems a bit complicated there, the more in the country you live, the les frequently the connections are.

    According to your mail you do seem to get write far away from Limoges. Is the bus service so much better there or is it a bit of planning?

      Salut!

      Coucou !

      That’s right.

      According to your mail

      What do you mean ?

      I don’t know how it is in Brive so I can’t compare, but we do have a pretty good bus network : inside the city, all stops are served every 10-15 minutes, and in the suburbs, stops are served once or twice an hour.

      or is it a bit of planning?

      Sometimes I do have to plan for longer-than-usual layovers or walking, e.g. 20 minutes, and sometimes the the bus just doesn’t go far enough and I have to ask them to pick me up at the nearest stop which is usually a 5 min drive away.

        According to your mail

        I meant map, but autocorrect…

        Thanks for the answer! I’m from the Netherlands, so I was interested to compare the bus system, in France I’ve never used it, because of the car being so much more convenient.

        Might be with it too try it out, I once went by train to Aurillac, just to travel differently.
