What hitchhikers said along this route

“Not a great spot, very little time for the cars to see you and a lot of people are just going to the other side of the city. Eventually found a car going to Paris that dropped us in Caussade”

“Had to wait for a long time there, but luckily the car that picked us up took us nearly 150 kms.”

“Montauban Toll, it's a good place to get dropped while going towars Paris”
― Anonymous, Wed 2013-08-07 · Chemin Castaing, Montbartier
“stood on the grassy shady wooded area on the side just after the toll booths. got a ride from the second car that passed all the way to paris. may have been luck, but most traffic is slow and there is a good place to stop, and this spot gets all traffic going on the A20 from toulouse. i recommend a big sign as it is wide toll booth and you may miss cars on the far side.”

“You need a big sign and it is hard for passenger cars to change lanes towards the parking”
― kram, Wed 2026-10-14 · Chemin Castaing, Montbartier
“For me here is the spot to enter the free A20 to Paris (i come from east of Limoges) You have to stand on the opposite side of the road so it's a bit strange but there is a lot of place, it is also near thé burger king where BlaBlaCar stops”

“Good spot for getting onto highway, we waited a bit longer because it was already dark. Many cars going to Limoges.”
― kram, Wed 2026-10-14 · Limoges
“It was a long wait and there is not a lot of traffic, plus it was raining and cold but we got a Ride to Amboise”
― Anonymous, Sat 2016-02-27 · Aire de Limoges-Est
“On peut rejoindre l'autre côté en empruntant le pont un peu plus au nord”
― Gerardlambert, Sat 2013-07-20 · Aire de Limoges-Est
“There is a big rock to sit on here, just next to the parking area. There isn't a huge volume of traffic, but everyone is going very slowly, and there are cars and trucks parked nearby, you could ask there too. I got a lift in less than 5 minutes. There is also a forest if you need a hidden place to spend the night. ______________________ J'ai attendu a coté d'un pierre grand pres de le station ”
