“Aire de la Courneuve: Hard to reach but the best way towards Picardy/Lille. Often many hitchikers there. Hole in the cloture nearby.”

“When passing on the highway I seemed like construction finished, can somebody confirm it?”

“Yes, many people are going to airport or are locals, but it is quite good place to start, we got a ride in direction Lille in 1,5 hour - but we were 4!”

“Still under construction, better to get a lift at Port de la Chapelle.”

“It is open indeed, it was quite busy on a sunday, a lot of people are going somewhere local/to the airport, but still quite good.”

“Many locals but I think it is the best place to hitchhike to the North! The door was open, I had no problem for entering ;)”

“The door was not open, but you can follow the wall/fence until it ends, climb down a small hill towards the autoroute and then jump the (second, smaller) fence. Sounds more complicated than it ended up being, the fence is even a little bent down and there's trees to help. Lots of local cars but I still found people going through Lille to Mons within 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend this spot”

“this seems the best way out of Paris without standing on the side of the road. We were 3 people, so we wanted somewhere good. as others say, you can access it via a bus. walk to the end of the wall and through some bushes and voìla. we got a lift to Aire de Ressons, an hour or so north, towards Lille. there were lots of people here.”
