I rejected maybe 8 rides because I thought I could get a farther one, and I did! All the way to the border of Spain! Most people are going to Orléans, but occasionally you meet someone going farther. I speak no French but managed to make do, good spot to hitchhike out west or south!―Calebblor

Worked surprisingly well at night, there is place to stop at the entrance of the roundabout but I can imagine if the road is full it will be harder to manage for the drivers.―TajineMachine

Got dropped here at 9PM, still a bit of traffic, but 80% of the cars went to Narbonne/Montpellier. I got tons of offers. For my first offer to the south I had to wait 60mins. So I would say it's a 4/5 spot towards south but definitely 5/5 for northbound.―TajineMachine

Not a good stop in the roundabout for cars to stop safely when there is a lot of traffic.―Anonymous

There is a lot of cars some Spanish some from Netherlands but most of them are French so it’s best to know French.First day we could find no one to go with towards Spain so we slept under a trees close to gas station.
Second day we asked for one hour and we met Spanish dudes and they took us close to Perpignan.

Cars have some place to stop and mostly locals, I (one boy) got a ride super fast to Palau del vidre, but Argelès is probably also easy.―Peddy42

Good spot, waited a bit longer than expected, but worth it. A couple took us to Perpignan, directly in front of our accomodation. We (2) had a sign Perpi, because of space in our notebook.―TwoThumbsTravel

The car are going slow and there's space to stop. Good for going into the direction to Spain but probably hard to get in to Spain.―jokndm

Good to go to Collioure, there's space to stop and cars aren't going too fast. The closer to Spain you want to get the hardwr it probably is.―jokndm

Good if you are heading south.For traveling north to Montpelier, i wouldn't suggest this. Took almost 2 hours. Cars are slow when exiting the peage but then speed up rapidly to cross into their preferred lane, and as the northbound side is on the left, it's difficult for them to stop. Got a trucker ignore all the mess behind him who picked me up, luckily.
