Lots of cars coming through. I asked 5 people or so if they were going towards Paris, which they were because thats the only way to go from here, but they said no. One guy even asked me which was Paris to be able to say he was going the other way lol. But eventually I stood on the entrance with a sign (Paris) and a guy stopped and drove me all the way to the joining of the A11 and the A10, South of Paris.M23

Not a good spot. Tried to ask, but everybody completely ignored me.I ended up asking the guy who took me there to take me a bit further.

This spot is fine for getting out of Bordeaux. Two rides stopped, without a sign.―JumpingRabbit

I hitchhiked during holiday season, so there were a lot of cars that were full so I didn't try to ask.After an hour, a car that was going south of Bordeaux to the A63 took me, without a sign.

We ( Boy & Gril ) waited with another hitchhiker couple! They got a ride to the next gas station after 40mins. We were so lucky to find an elderly couple who speak english, that could take us all the way to Bordeaux :DWe definitely had to wait so long because not many pass by early in the morning! 2/3pm is the best time here.
Also it may be better to get a ride before the gas station in france as the gas prices are higher - still some people go to eat and do a stop here.
Just go around as ask 😁🌱

First car stopped for me – a friendly French senior told me this spot is along a pilgrimage route, so it’s a good place to catch a ride. Got almost halfway to Spain from here. Definitely recommended!―Anonymous

Direction: Bayonne, Spain, Arcachon.From the center of Bordeaux, take the tramway Line B, stop at "Peixotto", then Take Bus 42 to "Ecole d'architecture". You can hitch at the bus station. The entrance is near. Most of the drivers go to the basque coast, or to Arcachon.

Direction Paris, Toulouse, LyonWhen you arrive from south / spain /west of bordeaux, and if the driver don't go further, ask him to stop you in this gas station. It's after the exit 16 of the periherical motorway.

This is one of the worst places to try hitchhiking to the A1 (Paris, Orleans, Poitiers). Tried it for over 2.5 hours. Horrible―Anonymous

most cars going to Paris and Tulouse. Just to let you know. Lyon is an illusion....you might want to accept to go via Tulouse. Id rather recommend it anyway... little gas station, few traffic.―Anonymous

Super easy to get a ride here towards Bayonne. I waited perhaps 10min. Just make sure you are dropped off at a gas station that will soon show up and not in a roundabout like I did.―Sevetse
