Good spot for going South from Lille. It was slowish traffic but a Dutch couple picked us up and took us to Vierzon. Not to bad to get from Lille, about an hour―Anonymous

Single male with a huge smile. It had a lot of traffic on the morning. I waited at the very end of the station to be able to see all the cars exiting. Luckily Naim took me to the north of Paris. I was holding a cardboard " A1 Paris"―whiterabbit

Single male, July 2026. I started waiting around 09.15. Lots of cars, and a small place to stop. Actually good stop specially in the morning. I waited 30 mins with a sign "Aire de Phalempin - A1". Thank you Anna!!―whiterabbit

we 3 were trying to get to Calais/Dover. a very nice person from Lille took us to this station from the A1. it was much better than the A1 as all traffic was going the right direction. we met lots of people who were going to England via the ferry. eventually, we were offered a lift onwards to Aire de St Hilaire Cottes, the last fuel stop before the Calais ferry, so we took it.―Alifeee

it's ok. we were trying to go to Calais, but most people were not taking the A26. Most were going to Lille, or Netherlands, or Germany, etc. good pizza.―Alifeee

we got dropped off here instead of Aire de Wancourt to the North. we were 3 people and were waiting for a while, so we took a lift to Aire de Wancourt anyway.―Alifeee

it's an ok spot for cars to stop. we were not waiting long. our lift was not going very far, but took us to a roundabout on the A1. In retrospect, we should have asked them to drive an extra 10 minutes to a service station, as the roundabout (and nearby toll booth) were not good for us to hitch from (3 people)―Alifeee

I agree that it's a really weird spot and it was mostly locals but there's space to stand at the side of the turnaround (if a bit windy, also no shelter, so not a spot for bad weather) and cars can stop too. With a sign to Paris we (2ppl) found a ride to Aulnay within half an hour and from there taking the train into Paris proper was pretty easy (and cheap.)―thebeekeeper

We (2 people) were there on a Sunday, so everything was closed and we only found a ride that didn't go that far. We did find that pretty quick though and I imagine it's a pretty good spot on business days.As it was for us, it was a small bunnyhop and we were definitely lucky cause there were not many cars, so I'm not rating it super high.

An acceptable starting point, given it's in a big city and pretty easy to reach. There isn't really a place to stop except the red light, but that worked just fine. It was mostly locals but we did end up getting a ride to a nearby reststop. Not ideal but at least we were on the highway. We were two people with a sign to Paris.―thebeekeeper

Last (or first!) station on the A1. Only 15 km from Lille.―Anonymous

Excellent!the first/last peage on A1 Lille-Paris. When exiting Lille wait to get directly to here - you will get a ride till next peage in maximum 5-10 minutes. If heading to Lille, wait for direct trip instead of accepting gas station as there are barely no traffic in gas stations
