this seems the best way out of Paris without standing on the side of the road. We were 3 people, so we wanted somewhere good. as others say, you can access it via a bus. walk to the end of the wall and through some bushes and voìla. we got a lift to Aire de Ressons, an hour or so north, towards Lille. there were lots of people here.

we got picked up fairly fast by someone going to Paris. They dropped us on the outskirts, where we got a bus and a train into the centre.

we were unsure about this one, but fairly quickly someone stopped and took us to Porte d'Italie in the South. We were trying to get to Lyon eventually. a few other people were going other directions.

we were heading for Paris. after not so long, someone stopped who was doing van delivery driving towards Paris. they kindly dropped us right off of the Périphique in Paris.

Good spot but a lot of locals and taxis to that went to the airport…… We were lucky to get a minibus to Brusel. It is a bit tricky to get there the door was not open so we had to go to the end of the fence and around through the Forrest Jungle and that the most dangerous you have to walk on the road where the cars speed up from the gas station to the highway. But is is just a few seconds walk to the station……

We wanted to go to Dunkerque on a Saturday morning (of a weekend where they celebrate the big carnival) to make it to the worldwide-seagull competition and had no luck. No one pulled over despite many cars having the number of that département on their licence plate. It was also freezing (-5°C) which didn’t help so we abandoned.

Easy ride out to A1 toward north and Belgium , some traffic and trafic light for cars to stop. Picked up in 20 with a cardboard that said A1. Should be easy to get north once you are on a highway stop

I already used this spot to go to Lille but it is not that good after all, a lot of people are going to the airport and you can get stuck. Try Aire de Vémars Est if you want to go north it is way better

Un très bon spot pour aller direction Paris. J'ai été prise en moins de 5 minutes pour un trajet direct vers Paris.

A very good spot to go to Paris. I found a direct ride to Paris in 5 minutes.

I didn't enjoy hitching there, but you can't argue the results. I stood after the pedestrian crossing to stand out from the crowd, but I gues you could go before and ask the drivers waiting on the red light. I had sign "A10".

Attente inexistante. Plein de gens sortaient de la boutique. Le premier couple à qui j’ai demandé m’a pris!

Waited at the exit with a thumb up and after a few cars the first lady who stopped took me straight to Lille.

A guy and a girl without a sign. We got there quite late, at 11.30pm, and tried to get to "Aire de Limours/Briis sous forge" south of Paris from here.
Did not work at all : some people were trying to help us, but only went to morth-east of Paris, and there was no one there after 1am so we went to sleep. The staff was very friendly and offered us some pain au chocolat and hot chocolate because the machine didn't work well for us, and we could set the tent at the back of the restplace without anyone bothering us at all. In the morning we waited one more hour before somebody took us to Saint-Denis' train station, as everybody else ignored us.

Nice spot to go north if the door is open (it was in my case). A lot of local cars but it is possible to find someone for lille
