Not an ideal spot as cars don't have much space to stop, but it still works. Most cars go at least to the roundabout of "Les Ulis" which is probably a better spot.

During the day, nearly all cars passing hear go to the Christ de Sacoay station, which is a good spot for reaching the highway.
In the morning though, there is always a big traffic jam, and half of the people are turning before to rech the CEA research campus.

We were dropped at this spot Sunday afternoon by a frequent driver who told us he usually picks hitchhikers there, and added that all drivers going from Rennes to Paris drive through this spot.
We were a group of 3 so lined up along the exit, used thumb and sign and got picked up relatively quickly to be taken to Paris!

There is a lot of traffic, but the traffic light is really fast. The people are not very nice and don’t easily give rides to strangers. However, some people are kind and might offer you a lift."

You can take a bus and like 20 minutes walking and you are there. Best way to go directly to Roun or Caen

good spot for paris, great spot for north east in the summer. many cars were full, loads of benelux and german license plates from homecoming holiday go-ers, if you are looking for a ride to paris, better to hunt down plates with 75 than to stand at the entrance to the petrol station. if talking to french drivers ask for direction paris as opposed to paris itself, they might be more likely to give a ride. we saw other hitchers here but they ignored us.

If you want to get on the A13 towards Normandie this is the only good spot. Stand on the sidewalk and hold a sign saying A13. Cars can stop on the right lane or drive off the road next to the parking garage.

Near Metro stop Porte d'Auteuil. Hitch straight here to go towards Normandie (don't go into tunnel). There is a 'no pedestrians' sign to stand under :)

Il paraÃ®t qu'il est meilleur que la porte d'Auteuil pour la Normandie. A essayer.
I Heard it's a better spot than Porte d'Auteuil for Normandie. To try.

not so much space, but some cars dare to stop. got a little lift to la celle saint cloud, and from there a lift to rouen. might have been a lucky combination.

We were a couple trying to go to Normandy on a Saturday afternoon. A hitchhiker was there already and probably got a lift, didn't work for us though, we gave up after something like 2 hours. However at some point we were offered a lift to "Les Mureaux" which is actually good because it's after the 1st gas station. Not so easy for cars to stop (only one stopped). Maybe better to have a sign with A13 or gas station symbol than Rouen or Normandy.

Me and a friend with HUGE packs because we are bringing our instruments were worried about getting a ride due to the size. I speak very very little french so I was also worried. We took the RER to poissy, slept on near the cathedral outside, the police were very nice and didnt bother us, we woke up the next day grabbed some old bread for free and took the bus to auberge. At the bus stop you take your first right (if your walking in the direction you were coming from. Set up at the rest staition, my friend held a sign and I walked up to people and asked if they were going west on 13, the second person I asked said sure thing. He was heading towards Rouen but he dropped us off at a nice rest area where he even found a ride for us because our french was poor. Really good spot to hitch from.
