'''Rennes''' a city in [[France]] and the capital of [[Bretagne|Brittany]]. A door to come and leave. The buses in Rennes work in a "you're supposed to buy a ticket" way, but it's simple to use them without paying, as chances are that a ticket inspector comes on and asks to check your ticket are slim.

The best place are the petrol stations before and after the city if you come from outside the place.
=== East towards [[Laval]], [[Le Mans]], [[Paris]], A 81 ===
[[File:Hitchrennes.png|thumb|right|400px|Good places are marked green.]]
The goal is too get to the toll station just before [[Laval]], you can easily find a car to Paris there.
Take the metro to the end station ''La Poterie''. From here, it is about 1 km walking to the spot. Start walking on ''Rue de Vem'' to the south. To the left you will pass a huge parking place. Go past one roundabout, cross the bridge over the motorway to get to the roundabout on the other side. From this roundabout, there is an exit going on the motorway in the good direction, with a nice place for cars to stop. Use a sign with Laval written on it, if your driver don't want to pay for the toll you can ask him to drop you at the last exit before it from there you can simply walk to the toll station.
Another option is to go to ''Noyal sur Vilaine'', there a transport company operate you can just ask truck driver at the gate or hitch on the entrance of the motorway next to it.
At the end of summer vacancy, it's also possible to find people going back toward [[Paris]], all the tourist coming from the south of Britanny taking the N24 pass by Rennes see the West towards [[Vannes]], [[Lorient]], [[Quimper]] section how to get there but of course hitchhike on the other direction at the entrance of the ring road.
=== North East towards [[Fougéres]], [[Caen]], [[Rouen]] ===
Take the bus line 1 in the direction of Champs Blancs. Get off at the terminus, make your way north to the roundabout Boulevard Allies/Route Fougeres, place yourself on the Boulevard des Allies direction of the periferic (signs may also indicate Route de Saint Sulpice).
At the exit of the roundabout cars pass quiet quickly, but there is a long strip for cars to pull over about 2 meters after.
== Hitching in ==
=== From south ===
If you are coming from south by the N137, and that your driver does not stop at Rennes, he will probably want to take the ring. It is not good for you !
In this case the best option for you is to ask him to get into Rennes for a few hundreds meters at the end of the N137. Next to the first roundabout, ask him to follow the signs "Centre Commercial", there is a parking where you can stop safely. The metro station ''Henri Fréville'' is very close. Then your driver has just to go back to the roundabout, where he can go back on the ring. Otherwise, you will not be able to cross the ring by feet to get into Rennes.
