Not much traffic, but a random guy asked us if we’re going to Marseille and took us there. We also had a sign “Mars” but here you can stop anyone anyway.―TwoThumbsTravel

Nice spot, lot of traffic, helpful people. A guy from Monaco took us really quickly to another gas station before Aix-en-Provence, close to Marseille.―TwoThumbsTravel

Very large station with lots of people stopping here. Took us 2min to have a truck driver take us to Montpellier.―Mariannesgon

Arrived there in the afternoon, had to ask quite a few people before getting a ride to Marseille. The people seemed to be unusually suspicious.―Kkmm

Got here in the middle of the night. This station is pretty small, and to make it worse the shop is being remodelled so the facilities are provisional. Mind you, the petrol station is NOT nonstop. There is a small park next to the parking place where some suspicious looking people were already sleeping by the time I installed my sleeping bag on one of the picnic tables. Had the worst sleep (well, lack of it) ever but got picked up the next morning by a nice old lady who stopped for a coffee.―Anonymous

Great spot to get to Brue Auriac, Barjols or Varage. I never waited longer than a few minutes.―Anonymous

Most cars seem to go in direction east. Still it is not a bad spot.―Anonymous

I believe it's the best place to cross the Montpellier without going into it. There's a lot of traffic in many directions. We've been asking everybody around and many people were going to the next city 60 km away or Lyon, fewer to Aix-en-Provence but it's the best way to Italy and we were heading to it. It's kinda hard to navigate on the map what's the best way to Italy cause there is a lot of roads crossing each other after Montpellier.We 2 guys got picked up by a father and son from Germany that were supposed to go to Monaco but on our way there the son got so angry he had no cigarettes left that he broke the car (tear out both the mirrors, started to throw things into the car) and told us to leave

There was not that much traffic and even if someone was actually going they were usually picking the directions of Montpellier and we were going to Italy's border. Also people seemed to not even look in our direction. But after some time a lovely lady with her elderly mom stopped and they took us to the next gas station on the highway.Also the guard told us to leave while we were staying right after toll station which was unfortunate as there was a lot of space to park
