(on the Dover -> Calais ferry) we paid £30 and joined the ferry as foot passengers. there were lots of people driving off the ferry. we were 3 people and did not find a lift for all of us, but split into 2 and 1, and both groups found lifts to London. we asked almost everyone on the ferry and found 2-3 offers.

the last rest stop before Calais ! lots of traffic going to the ferry, UK cars, etc. We were 3 people, so not many had space for us. eventually, we took a car just to Calais terminal to buy a foot passenger ticket for £30. if it was earlier in the day, and we waited longer, we might have found people going onto the ferry.

we 3 were trying to get to Calais/Dover. a very nice person from Lille took us to this station from the A1. it was much better than the A1 as all traffic was going the right direction. we met lots of people who were going to England via the ferry. eventually, we were offered a lift onwards to Aire de St Hilaire Cottes, the last fuel stop before the Calais ferry, so we took it.

it's ok. we were trying to go to Calais, but most people were not taking the A26. Most were going to Lille, or Netherlands, or Germany, etc. good pizza.

49.8883, 2.8402
we got dropped off here instead of Aire de Wancourt to the North. we were 3 people and were waiting for a while, so we took a lift to Aire de Wancourt anyway.

49.5240, 2.7225
it's a service station. we were 3 people and got picked up going north. we took a lift to the Aire de Coeur de l'Hauts-de-France, a larger service station further north

this seems the best way out of Paris without standing on the side of the road. We were 3 people, so we wanted somewhere good. as others say, you can access it via a bus. walk to the end of the wall and through some bushes and voìla. we got a lift to Aire de Ressons, an hour or so north, towards Lille. there were lots of people here.

47.7885, 3.6723
we got picked up fairly fast by someone going to Paris. They dropped us on the outskirts, where we got a bus and a train into the centre.

45.6129, 5.2116
we waited here a very long time. we were 3 people looking for one lift. eventually, we found a lift halfway to Paris.

45.2791, 5.6234
we got a bus here from Grenoble, took around 1h30m. We were waiting a long time as we were 3 people. Otherwise, it seemed fine.

45.9785, 4.7345
we stopped here trying to get a lift onward to services north of Lyon. instead, we got picked up and went straight to Grenoble, our destination. it was a Sunday, so maybe more chance of travel.

48.2633, 2.7212
we liked this better than Aire de Lisses to the North, as we were 3 people. We got a quick lift to Lyon.

48.5947, 2.4420
for us, it was not good. we were 3 people and we waited 5 hours for a lift down the road to Aire de Nemours. if you are alone or 2, it is probably better. two women turned up while we were waiting, they waited 10 minutes for a lift south. it is pretty easy to get to from Paris though.

48.8892, 2.3960
we were unsure about this one, but fairly quickly someone stopped and took us to Porte d'Italie in the South. We were trying to get to Lyon eventually. a few other people were going other directions.

49.8869, 2.8372
we were heading for Paris. after not so long, someone stopped who was doing van delivery driving towards Paris. they kindly dropped us right off of the Périphique in Paris.

it was okay. we walked a few hours from the péage to the north to get here. it was not that busy, but enough to get a lift in a short time. the pizza was very good. the next services (cœur des HdF) was much busier, so take any lift to get to it

moved here after waiting closer to the Ferry Port roundabout for a bit. Got a lift after an hour or so with someone. They'd bought the wrong ticket and had no leftover money so we paid for some of the new car ticket. c'est la vie. While on the ferry we asked for lifts to Paris, but nobody was going (nor did it seem like anyone else but our lift would have picked us up from the street - maybe lucky!), so we went to Lille to stay the night. Successfully asked someone on the street to stay at their place.

got an offer to go on LeShuttle but they wanted us to pay. After a short while, got an offer to Dover from a Polish truck driver who spoke very little English. Lots of European cars stopping here.

51.4919, 0.2705
we were heading to Dover. it took a while to get a lift, but we were 3 people. our friends arrived to hitch after us and took a lift before us (cheeky). eventually found a lift to Maidstone after trying several spots (food court, fuel station, roundabout). Lots of French/German/Belgian/etc cars around.

it's a services. pretty classic. took us a while because we were 3 people. eventually found someone going down to the south coast:]

50.6352, 3.0793
it's an ok spot for cars to stop. we were not waiting long. our lift was not going very far, but took us to a roundabout on the A1. In retrospect, we should have asked them to drive an extra 10 minutes to a service station, as the roundabout (and nearby toll booth) were not good for us to hitch from (3 people)

Seems good. We got picked up in 3 minutes by people going to Derby. Seems like a lot of traffic is heading onto the M1 from here.

53.3573, -1.4762
it was okay. we were looking to go South via the M1 and this got us down to Meadowhead, where many people were going onto the M1.

we waited a couple of hours, but we were 3 people, so did not find anything. a few cars stopped with 2 or 1 seats. they seemed to be heading the right direction (we were trying Lyon). another hitchhiker turned up trying to get to Orléans. we abandoned after 2 hours to get a metro, RER, bus, and bus to Aire de Lisses south of Paris. if you're alone, might be ok

we had lunch here after failing to hitch from the nearby roundabout to the north. we did not think there was a good place to hitch as a 3 (could not safely stand by the toll booths, and very few people were stopping at the parking spot), so we did not try to hitch. instead, we walked south to a local services, Aire de Wancourt. it took 2.5 hours and one lift to get there. it was very hot.

we were dropped off here from Lille, on the way to Paris. It seemed only little traffic was headed onwards to Paris, and those that were did not have space for the three of us. You might find a lift, but it seemed impossible to us (3 ppl), so we walked to the toll booth nearby to check it out. (we also did not like that and hiked 2h30 to the next services)
