I think it might be the best spot to get out of Lille towards Dunkerque/Calais. There's an obscene amount of going onto the highway, there's a pedestrian crossing, so a perfect place to stop and it's very easy to get to by train (just ask someone to let you through with their ticket, if they say no, ask someone else. They're very nice in Lille). I stood with a "CALAIS" sign and got picked up by someone going to Dunkerque, but they liked me so much that they changed their mind and took me all the way to Calais beach. So I mean it that the people are nice in Lille. Highly recommend this spot too.

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

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"

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!!

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)

Very good spot. Got picked to Lille within 10 minutes. Perfect to stand in between the lanes.

Lot of passing cars, lots of belges and germans. I just wanted to go to Lilles and found easily a car. I didn't want to go there at first but we got a bit of a miscomprehension at Vemars so I stopped there and I'm thinking of using this spot again if I ever want to speedrun to germany and further north lol.

Juste avant l'A1, beaucoup de voitures la remontent.
Le spot est safe et clair

Juste avant le péage de l'A16 on cherche à aller sur Lille, toutes les destinations s'en rapprochent

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.)

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.
