Bus très confortable beaucoup de place. Collation distribué et ticket pour un repas à prendre dans une station service. Seul bémol l'arret pour le repas était à minuit ce qui coupe la nuit

The bus was very comfortable, leather seats, reclining, more room than on the plane. The service was top-notch, with snacks and drinks distributed at the beginning of the journey. Remember to take a sweater, there are blankets but it's cold with the air conditioning. We left on time and arrived a little early.
