I stopped here after leaving Nice, to get on the highway. I had a sign saying « Frejus » to get closer to Nîmes, after a hour only one car enventually stopped and took me. People in this area are not open to help each other it seems…

I first went down the turn so cars have space to stop, but the police told me to get closer to the roundabout because I was « on the highway » (cars were really slow and I was easily visible). So I stood right before the highway blue sign, in a really less good spot (almost no space for cars to leave, less visible and mor difficult for the cars coming from south to stop since they need to change lane quicly). Anyway a guy took me to Cannes after 15 min (I had a sign saying this city name)

Got dropped off here after leaving Nice, en route to Italy. Quite a small services but beautiful views and we found it promising as we saw lots if places to sleep if we weren't lucky enough to get a lift. We got a few sympsthetic refusal nods from drivers and then two lovely Germans in their way hone offered to take us to Italy.

Wouldn’t really recommend to get there it’s a bit hard and the location is near a 5 star hotel, there is a bit of space to stop but it isn’t ideal and cop were up further ahead but didn’t bother us. Eventually got picked up by an italien going to Genoa our destination. 2males 2 big bags

Many many many cars towards Cannes and Marseille.
But very tricky to get there DO NOT CLIMB FROM THE EASTERN SIDE.
There is an open gate for service vehicles on the western side. Got there from Allianz Riviera by going to the gas station north of there, crossed the roundabout towards the river and walked until the toll booth.

A lot of cars are heading towards Nice with slow enough speed. Enough space to stop a car or small vans.

Good place to go to Nice. A lot of people are putting gas here. I don't know for further, probably during the day. At 5 there was only people going out of work.

There is not so much place on the roundabout, but if you go a little bit further there is a spot to stop on the median.

Not so busy, we tried to ask people for Nice / Marseille direction. A Swiss older couple on Tesla took us before Nice, above Monaco. From there it was easier because we were finally in France. Good luck.

I didn't think this was that good a spot, because there was barely any traffic and nowhere that good to stop. But, then I got picked up in 8 minutes... In the evening when it was dark

We were walking around the gas station and asking people with a sign to Montpellier, suddenly a guy came to us and said he's going to Andorra. We were trying to get to Barcelona, so we were very lucky!

Ok so I guess I was lucky to have a couple of kind italians taking me to Ventimiglia in like 10mn of waiting. BUT I think, if it wasn't them, I could wait a lot. There's almost no room to stop, it's just after the border so there are some cops & carabinieri and it puts a negative atmosephere for hitchhiking which reflects on people attitude. Also a lot of fancy cars and tourism which won't likely be the kind of person taking you for a ride (it's valid for the whole coast of Liguria IMO). Grazie Marco e Sofia :)
