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.”
