Hitchhiking to GER. Standing with a france and german sign. Got picked up from 2 german students and was driven until Freiburg.Lots of different tourists refill their tanks here and see u standing with a sign and have enough time to decide if they pick you up.

Some place for cars to stop. A city bus can get you there from the center of Valence if you prefer crossing the city because someone can drop you there or any other reasons.―Chrisworldpeace

Quite good spot to go to Valence (most of the car go south). Not that much cars but they can stop before the toll.White male.

I originally tried for a ride after getting dropped here around 2am, gave up and slept for a few hours. In the morning took about 20 minutes to get a ride. Low night traffic, high morning traffic.―Streamrider

Most drivers were local, but exceptionally friendly. People kept stopping to apologize they were getting off at the next exit, one guy circled back to offer food. Asked a swiss number plate and he offered a ride as far as the swiss border. I opted to get out south of Lyon, but should have stayed with him until east side of Lyon.―Streamrider

In the afternoon, I (female) wait for 1 min with a sign « Lyon » and have a proposition to Givors (south Lyon) that I didn’t take and I wait for 5 minutes and another car stop and bring me to the metro of Venitieux where I catch a metro to Lyon center.―Anonymous

J'ai demandé à un mec qui faisait de l'essence et il m'a pris direct direction Valence.L'aire n'a pas l'air très fréquentée mais il était 17h30 un lundi. Y a moyen de marcher en 15mn de l'aire Sud à Nord, mais y a une petite zone interdite à passer au Nord de l'autoroute. Il suffit de contourner les barrières. On m'a pas embêté mais voilà.

I think I was just super lucky. Didn't expect it to go that well. But I still tried it there because I couldn't find a better place―Friedolin

Took quite long, cant remember the exact time but probably 1-2 hours. But then I got a good lift to Valence―Friedolin

Chill gas station, not hat many cars but lots of international plates. Had a sign Chambery, got ride to after Grenoble at the third car passing. Should be quite easy to get rides direction Geneve or Italy too.―friki

Very good for direction Valance (had more than 7 people stop in 15 minutes going in that direction). Horrible in direction Grenoble. Ended up getting a ride to the next gas station direction Valence (Air de Bayanne) and crossed to the other side of the highway.―friki

There's a pretty decent space for cars to stop after the roundabout, but not many cars unless the train just arrived. Was just trying to get somewhere with more traffic so I got a ride to the next big highway etrance.―friki
