What hitchhikers said along this route

“C’est difficile de sortir de Paris vers l’est. Il y a beaucoup de passage mais c’est beaucoup des camions et des taxis. On a été pris après environ une heure et déposé un peu avant l’aire de ferrière.”

“Standing there (2 people) with a sign over an hour, and many who stopped went only a very short distance until one was willing to take us to the Aire des Ferrières.”

“> A4 Reims, Metz, Strasbourg, Germany and Luxembourg reach this gas station from Bussy Saint Georges RER A train station, then walk through the industrial area of Bussy, then cross onto the bridge, then follow for some hundred meters in the grass along the A4. 25-30 minutes wait. Best point for getting out of Paris - 45 min by RER The Péage is not far from here.”

“A good spot to get out of Paris, but a long way. With the RER from Chatlet, then get of Bussy-Saint-Georges. From there through the industrial area. I d recommend to write down street names first to know where to cross the highway. There s a small bridge not far from the petrol station. After crossing it, one has to either cross the fence of the highway and walk along it till the petrol station or”

“Forget about the walk, you can easily go to the petrol station from the center. Simply prepare a board with station à 2km and hitch from the roundabouts close to the RER station ;) Anyway, I hitched there three times and didn't found this spot excellent...”
