What hitchhikers said along this route
“To reach this gas station: Take the Tramway A, to "Gravières". Follow the street Rue des Gravières, Rue François Villon. At the crossroads, tkae Avenue de Paris. There is a small road parallel at this street, take it (rue Jean Raymond Guyon). It ends to a roundabout but here is a small old pedestrian road. Take it. Cross the bridge that crosses the highway. From it, you can see the Gas statio”

“Bon plan, mais les gens devraient faire moins d'enfants pour laisser plus de places dans leur voiture ! :) Pour la solution de l'autre station-resto plus haut, même la dame de la station nous l'a recommandée, car tous les usagers de la rocade s'y retrouvent, comme elle est sur l'A10”

“We didn't have any problem finding this place, neither getting a ride. Not a lot of cars, but enough to find somebody after about 30 minutes of asking.”

“The station exit is an awful place to hitch, cars don't have much space to stop, and the sound barrier wall is too short so you hear the very loud highway. Better skip it and go to the highway entrance just north of here.”
