What hitchhikers said along this route

“you can just go through the open red door with written. "Autostoppeurs, bonne chance!!" instead of climbing the wall ;) IMHO this spot is better than the peage itself since all the traffic can see you from the peage, cars don't have time to speed up before seeing you and there is a lot of space to stop.”

“The red door is permanently locked. But keep walking 5 minutes north to the bridge and you can easily access the motorway !”

“I stood here rather than at the Péage as I climbed over a large wall to get in (from Imp. des Horticulteurs) and didn't know how the staff would react. At the side here only the first 2 lanes of traffic will see you, but I got a lift quite quickly (and was even offered a place to stay the night). ______________________ J'ai monté un mur plus sud qu'ici de Imp. des Horticulteurs, donc je voulais ”

“J'ai pris le bus 29 jusqu'à l'impasse des horticulteurs. Au bout, il faut passer à droite du portail, marcher un peu, et à gauche on voit le chemin pour escalader la butte. Le grillage est ouvert à cet endroit.”
