did not feel very nice bcs you can only hop in as the drivers pay at the toll, there is no rest area. also clearly illegal.
this also means drivers might feel like they need to help you, so good to get ahead to a better spot not far. hitch at the ticket booths where they have to lower their window :) avoid the automatic gates where cars can just drive through.
there is a big highway security building right next to it that seemed inactive and did not bother me even though i lingered for a while before thumbing.
also, there is a pedestrian underpass connecting the toll gates so you don't need to actually walk across the motorway if it's really busy.

Fuel station "Havrincourt" towards Belgium. Take care: the fuel station on the other side is called "Graincourt".

Good to hitch to the north;
Horrable to hitch south.

Trying to join belgium... Not good spot. Few people go to paris. We end up finding someone to valencienne.

It's hard to get there from Paris and I don't think it's quite worth it and when you are in Vémars it's really easy to get lost and not find the station. But once you're here it's quite good even though I didn't find so much cars going to belgium as I wanted lots of them where going to Lilles. I wanted to stop at the nearest station before the start of the A2 but the drivers were cool and let me go to the first station of the A2 (Harvincourt) where it's a lot easier to go to Belgium from there.
