There are no prohibitions about hitching in France, apart from the restricted access roads, i.e. expressways and motorways. Péages are also considered part of the motorway, and normally one is not allowed to solicit rides there. But this is not really enforced - since 2004 [[User:Daniel|Daniel]], was only told once to get off the tollbooth and ask for a ride on the parking nearby (what was difficult because there was no services except toilets). But the risk is relatively low.
At some Péages péages all the traffic has to stop and pay - these are excellent spots to get a long ride further. Most cities next to a highway have a péage where all trafic has to stop.
You can get free maps in the péage offices - these also indicate where you can find the "all-stop-péage".
Some Péage péages are really good, some not so good. If you've been waiting for a while with an indication of where to go, drop it and try
with your thumb only. And also, you can try to get a ride to the next good spot in the wrong direction.
