Hitchhiked here several times already and it is kind of ok. I would say that it lies between 20mn and 1h30 waiting time as a solo lady to go to Grenoble. I advise you to write as big as you can (big cardboards are your friends) so that the cars can read it from far away. I also managed to go to the Maurienne Valley from this place, or to a petrol station on the way to Grenoble, this is great too.

Saw multiple stoppeurs (without signs) at this spot when we arrived and also encountered one when we left. We used a sign to lyon (hard to source nearby cardboard but found some eventually). Seems like the spot!

Solid spot, we got a bit of luck asking the second person if they are going to Grenoble and they were luckily.

The cars drive a bit fast but I got a quick ride to the Voreppe toll. Got pretty fast to Lyon afterwards !

I really love this spot, hitchhiked here several times already and it never disappointed me. I wish we had the same kind of spots on the West side of Lyon to go far West ! Well, this time I had a big sign "Grenoble" and it worked well. I advise you to write as big as you can (big cardboards are your friends) so that the cars can read it from far away. I also managed to go to the Maurienne Valley from this place, or to a petrol station on the way to Grenoble, this is great too.

Great spot with carpooling space for people to pull over. Mostly local traffic but you can get a ride to the edge of town to continue from there pretty easily.

Lots of cars but it was getting dark. Plenty of space after the toll station for people to stop or slow down and read my sign for Chamonix but most people were going a short distance or towards Grenoble. I ended up taking a ride towards Grenoble and I was going to get off at the last toll station before the turnoff towards Grenoble as I was heading towards Chamonix but there was so many police checking all vehicles and asking questions at this toll station that I ended up continuing to Grenoble staying the night there.

A lot of space, cars go slow. Did'nt wait long to go straight to Grenoble.

It’s one of the best spots to leave Grenoble going if you want to go north or south west. Very good traffic to the point we had to decline rides because they were too short. We used a Montpellier sign we found there from previous hitchhikers, although we only were expecting to get to valance a married couple brought us to a small village behind Montpellier. Might be the goat spot

Going East->la Grave in direction of Briançon. Lots of space here, but at this time not many cars came by. But still got an unexpectedly fast ride.

Going southeast/direction of Briançon. Why bother making a sign? I held it up for like half a minute and a nice french family picked me up:)

Going South/Grenoble: I like the spot, lots of space, but people in this area always seem to be in a rush, both times I stood here I had to wait a long time. (First time I was going to Lyon and had to go to another place) Though people coming from north and from sout who want to go on the highway south have to pass here, so it seems to be the best option around.

juste après le virage les voitures roulent pas trop vite mais voit au dernier moment.
De la place pour se garer sur la droite (route de service)

we stopped here trying to get a lift onward to services north of Lyon. instead, we got picked up and went straight to Grenoble, our destination. it was a Sunday, so maybe more chance of travel.
