It is an average spot I would say. I waited 45mn here which is a quite long time for a solo woman. After a while, a man stopped and took me to a petrol station on the motorway. He confirmed that most cars are going to local places here. I had a big Clermont-Ferrand sign. Good luck !

I got extremely lucky here. I got out of a car, and the driver of the car parked next to me noticed me with my “Lyon” sign and immediately told me I could ride with him (and his two beautiful dogs).

a lot of people, not that much space to park for cars but as there "priority stop" sign, it's ok
maybe 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!

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!

Driver saw me carrying my sign in the bathroom, offered a ride all the way to Paris and dropped me by a metro station.

Pretty slow, mostly local. Driver went out of his way by a lot to get me to a good spot.

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.

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.

we liked this better than Aire de Lisses to the North, as we were 3 people. We got a quick lift to Lyon.

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
