Got dropped off here while going towards Nice from Lyon.Saw and talked to a fellow female hitch hiker who often does Lyon Nice, a lot of cars that pass by since it’s a huge stop with a Burger King and several other restaurants and shops, did seem like a lot of people were going more towards Marseille than towards Nice, people are friendly.Know how to speak French helps a lot and having a sign is better2males with 2 big bags

Single male, no French. Plenty of cars, mostly heading Marseille I believe. But I spent the night here in this Aire, I set up a tent but it was a little terrifying ngl. After 1 am, car thiefs started robbing the place, or it was an alarm triggered automatically to scare of thieves but surely it was an dangerous place to sleep. If you ever need to sleep here, there is a partially hidden and safe spot surrounded by trees and have two big poles, next to the benches when you pass the basketball court. It is also a home to bunch of cats. I set my tent there but still didnt sleep until 4 am just to be sure. Also keep it in mind that thieves come by with a car and get away with a car, so anywhere away from the roads are more safe.―whiterabbit

Single mail, no French. Waited around 3 hours with a sign and a thumb, tried every possibility. First tried the roundabout, it was no good. Then I tried the spot I tagged, and got a ride in 20 mins. It was Cyann, heading to Marseille, he dropped me in an Aire before Marseille―whiterabbit

I waited for 1.5 h until someone stopped. I said just drive right behind the traffic light. There we had enough time to go into the car. Afterwards we drove around the building. I waited in front of the traffic light with a sign (direction Avignion / Salon De Pce)―Anonymous

Tried another spot closest to the exit and asked directly to people. Nothing happened. Stayed on this point and had someone 10mn later for a ride to Aix en Provence. Been lucky! Thanks Marie-Jo!―cavalierrustique
