[Young male solo-traveller]Spot was fine, not many cars when I was there, but lots of trucks. A truck driver from Uzbekistan finally picked me up after 30 minutes.

Enough space for parking. People can go in both direction, so would be maybe better to have a sign. Worked fine without for me to go to Saint-Etienne.―Anonymous

An on-ramp, uphill, cars go slowly and see you from a distance. Some place for them to stop but it's illegal to stand there. Direction Lyon, through highway.―Anonymous

This is the spot to go to Givors/Lyon and to the South (A7).There is way enough place on the side of the road for the cars to stop.

A lot of people who drive to roanne from St Etienne let you here. The highway entrance is far. It's difficult to come back on the highway. I hate this place.―Anonymous

this is absolutely the worst spot in the world if you want to get on the highway in the diretion of clermont-ferrand. you should try to get to saint-etienne and continue from there. around this place, the cheapest hotel costs 46 euro and i was unable to find any other site to spend the night (which you will have to do if you stay in this place).―Foerno

if you want to go north, it's better to try on the other round-a-bound. the big store and a gas station might fool you into thinking it's a good spot, but it's chiefly filled with local people.―Anonymous

i was standing on the bridge near the entrance to the highway going north. there is also a better spot for going south, with a parking space just after the bridge. here, getting a ride to clermont-ferrand proved to be really difficult.―Anonymous
