Paris to Andorra

I'm trying to get to Andorra from Paris and it looks like the Lunea 3971 train to L'Hospitalet is the best option. Rail Europe is giving me a price of $79 USD for a one-way seat and the trip will be on December 14 or 15. Should I purchase an e-ticket from Rail Europe or buy the ticket in Paris?

Thanks!

Rail Europe usually has high prices. Have you looked on SNCF?

BTW. There's no rail service to Andorra. Is there a bus connection from the train?

SNCF redirected to Rail Europe but I didn't check the French version yet. There is a bus from L'Hospitalet to Andorra that leaves about 30 minutes after the train arrives.

The same ticket is 51.00 € on http://www.voyages-sncf.com. Is that the French version?

$68.68 is less expensive, thanks!

Yup, that's the site. Glad it worked out!
FYI. Other than taking the night train, the other option is to fly PAR-TLS/BCN and take a bus from there. I doubt it would be cheaper though.

I think the BCN-Andorra bus is $50 each way plus the cost of the flight. My ticket is an open jaw arriving in CDG and leaving from BCN so I'll take the train/local bus combo to Andorra then the bus to Spain.

Thanks for the assistance!
