At the entrance of the toll, with a sign saying Paris / Le Mans, and waited less than 3 minutes for a ride.
But it was a few days before the end of summer break, so there was some traffic, probably helped!

stood on the grassy shady wooded area on the side just after the toll booths. got a ride from the second car that passed all the way to paris. may have been luck, but most traffic is slow and there is a good place to stop, and this spot gets all traffic going on the A20 from toulouse. i recommend a big sign as it is wide toll booth and you may miss cars on the far side.

Peu de passage, il vaut mieux accepter les petites courses.

Single male, no French, big laugh but started to disappear after 5 hours. I arrived this place at 14.00. FIRST DAY, I waited 4 hours until I decided to set my tent. I tried everything, sign with "Lyon, Sud de Paris, Paris", thumb, askimg around and nothing. Plenty of cars, actually ton of them but no one was taking me. As you get closer to Paris you see that "Parisian" nonwelcoming attitude. I set my tent at the north western end of the Aire, next to where truck restpoints were. Nobody bothered me. Asked Mcdonals for cardboards and they gave me some. Chill place as I think they are kind of used to hitchhikers. And second day, I started early and tried to catch early birds. After 1 hour with sign of Lyon I got back to Paris. First I wanted to avoid Paris and hoping to find a long distance ride who was also gonna skip the city. But as the suffering progressed, I understood that I dont have the luxury to make a wish. After 2 hours, two hitchhiker girls came next to me. we chatted a little bit, I told them I was waiting here for 8 hours now and told them they have more chance then me, they found a ride 5 minutes later. They asked people. After few more hours bees started to attack me so I changed my position. this cursed land doesnt wanted me in their premises. When I came back I saw a couple who was doing the thumbs up in my old spot. Talked with them! They were cool and I stood a little front of them for an hour. I didnt wanted to spent another day in this gas station so I gave up to hitch to the closest bus stop and move to Paris. Right before I leave the gas station, this crazy french chick Illen stopped in front of me with a handbrake! She asked me where, and I said anywhere! She took me to a train station in Paris, Pierrefitte Stains. Then I took the D train to south from there. It is lovely how universe giving you small surprises in these frustrating moments :D So total 9 hours of waiting time. A lot of cars, but they are not picking. A hard spot for a single male woth no french. Good luck out there stalker!

Was a bit slow at 08:00am. Delivery driver was going a short distance but thought he could get me to a better spot - traffic had other plans.

really good Spot to reach Rouen, Caen and Le Havre from Paris (take the RER A to Poissy or Saint-Germain-en-Laye then the bus)

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

There is a lot of traffic, but the traffic light is really fast. The people are not very nice and don’t easily give rides to strangers. However, some people are kind and might offer you a lift."

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!
