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

“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.”

“Excellent spot, j'ai suivi facilement les indications du commentaire précédent. J'ai été pris un dimanche (cependant c'est un weekend du 15 août). Si vs souhaitez utiliser un pancarte, faites là assez grande !”
