“Good place to go to Bordeaux, Nantes, SPAIN by A10. Near a big bus station, Metro "pont de sèvres.”

“good spot, just make sure they´re going to at least the first service station on the n118, i´ve managed to have misunderstandings from here before and got left in random suburbs.”

“Although the location itself is good, The cars did not stop. The ones that did just stopped there to pick someone up and did not want to take another person. 2 people actually stopped for me, but they were going back inside Paris so that was no use. Also 2 people lowered their window just to take a picture of a hitchhiker... After 4,5 hours of waiting I gave up due to the bad weather”

“no long wait from this good spot. An excellent option when getting south or west. Take care, don't take a car which doesn't go to the saint arnoult peage at least, if you don't wat your trip becoming harder !”

“indeed, sometimes it happens that you have to wait for one hour and a half, I use it a lot (maybe thirty times or more), sometimes it was a great succes, sometimes, can't know why, it was harder. Still a good option !”

“Good spot, very easy accessible by metro. Direct ride to Bordeaux! Waited an hour though and it was the first car that made a stop.”

“Around 30 minutes wait on a Wednesday evening (4:30 pm). The traffic jam of the peak hour probably made me wait longer than usual as it puts people in a bad mood. On the other hand it allowed me to talk to drivers while they were waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. And that's how I got a ride to Vierzon. I had a big back pack with me and 2 card boards. One with a "next gas station”

“it was supposed to be a good spot, but no one stopped during ~4h, maybe just a bad luck, but the bus stop before the bridge is a nice spot to catch cars that are standing on the traffic lights”

“very short wait, lot of cars to approach. Got a lift south towards Limoges really fast :)”

“Have hitched from here at least twice. Short waiting time. All traffic moving slowly, with room to stop. Bon endroit. Place pour s'arreter, pas trop longtemps d'attendre.”
