a lot of people, not that much space to park for cars but as there "priority stop" sign, it's okmaybe the drop point can be a bit random as there a lot of destination possible from there

Single male, no French. Spent the night here. Set my tent in the north side of the Aire, next to truck rest stop. No one bothered me, only one truck driver approached me and asked me what I was doing when I set my tent. Apparently he was also Turkic so we started to speak same language, he gave me incredible meat stew and offered me ride next day, sadly he was driving past the Lyon and I wanted to enter the city. Next morning I started early and got a direct ride to Lyon, from Fred who was also such a cool guy. Fairly enough traffic in this station, good spot I would say. Good luck out there stalker!―whiterabbit

Single male, no french. I came here from Paris, with Rer D train and 4307bus and a little bit of walk, around 16.45. The gas station still have a back entrance, a little hole in the fence where you can easily fit. Just becareful when passing the road as there is no light or pedestrian pass. I asked people around with a sign "Lyon Dir. A6". 3rd person I asked, was kind enough to got me into his car. He was Paul, the "Lazy Guru" :) He drove me to the gas station just north of Lyon, he was such a nice guy. We chatted all the way, around 4 hours. The gas station itself looked pretty empty at that time of the day. There is not a lot of traffic but most of the people going to Lyon direction so probably a good spot to get a ride. I was lucky this time. Good luck out there stalker!―whiterabbit

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

Waited for 75 minutes I did 30 minutes of standing with a sign on the highway and then I asked around the drivers and then I returned for another around 30 minutes of standing with a sign but it was too cold and when I got to 75 minutes I decided to stop because it was too windy and noone seemed to stop so I never got a ride―sisiamigomio

Had really bad luck traveling to the South in March from here, everybody was going to the Alps, but no matter in which direction the cars ate full, so I took a bus from Lyon to get weiter.―masya

Excellent spot pour aller vers le sud. Aire très accessible en rer D depuis Paris. Particulièrement intéressant pour la Bourgogne et Lyon―Mano75

Just next to the barrier is very good spot to go south. I was holding sign Marseille and after an hour got a direct ride there. The station is very good - you can refill you water, use toilets for free and buy relatively not expensive coffee. During Sunday all traks are resting, however on working day it is worth to ask truckdrivers for a ride.―estasbien

Very safe spot to hitchhike. A lot of local cars, use a sign with pictogram of a gas station and very fast you will get a ride to the nearest Petrol station on A46.―estasbien

Very good spot. Just stay before peage with a sign Lyon or Grenoble. There is a sign that forbids to walk on peage, but if you stay before it, it's very safe and legal.―estasbien
