Well, this is a strange one. Arrived at midnight - camped behind the little (very little!) woodland towards the entrance to the left and put in earplugs (as the traffic is really loud). There was maybe two cars around at that time and I was beat.In the morning it felt a little bleak - traffic was so so but it felt like mostly locals. Still, I knew I would eventually find someone for Strasbourg. I began to heat water for a coffee and along cones a Luxembourgish car. He was going to Nancy, I believe, but decided to deviate to Stras as it was faster. Think he just wanted to take me. He hadn't seen a hitcher in a long time. Awfully sweet guy. Shared his veg wrap with me.
You have toilets here& tap water. Not a place I'd like to be in winter, but frankly the road sucks from Luxembourg to Metz and there's little other options. I had stood in Luxembourg for two hours under heavy rain and storm with a sign for Stras to no avail. But, arrive I did...finally :-)

I never really succeed getting long distance rides in Luxembourg, despite the possibilities. Had a sign for Strasbourg in the torrential rain past ten pm. Eventually a car for Metz stopped - it was foolish as there's almost nothing to stop at before Metz but I took it anyway and spent the night camping.On another occasion, perhaps I can crack this...a sign for Stras/ Germany? Who knows..

Très spot mais il faut être patient (c’est paris comptez minimum 1h), j’ai été pris jusqu’à metz avec un panneau indiquant ‘reims’se mettre au niveau de l’arbre pour être visible et montrer le spot derrière

Really quick hitch towards Strasbourg. Truck can't ride during weekends, but some personal cars stop here as well.―martih

This is a nice spot for going south. I waved to cars going from the parking lots. I had a sign saying only FR.―martih

It's super fine for going to south of France. But apparently not so many people want to go to Nancy.―Anonymous

I waited so long because we were 4 Autostopper. Really good spot for going in a lot of directions. You can ask for Paris/ Strasbourg/Nancy and you'll find somebody.Good resources in Gas station. It has Toilet, Power outlet and big entrance for many people.

Not too many cars at this hour but it's ok, someone took us (we were 2) 30 minutes later to Thionville (we had a sign for Metz and Luxembourg).―GermaineBreton

Hitched just the once here but will try again soon - got a long ride to Luxembourg despite traffic seeming thin. Let's see if it was just lucky for the next time?―whisperingofthestars

you can get here from the city center by bus number 6 (see wiki description). A little dirty, but pretty hitchhikable petrol station―Anonymous

Loads and loads of cars headed to Paris, but it took me close to three hours finding sb going towards Saarbrücken/Strasbourg willing to take me... at least I got rich in the time I waited ;-)―Anonymous
