The ''autoroute du soleil'' passes through it, so in Summer there are huge amounts of traffic.
:''Hitchers should keep in mind that Lyon is known as the Hitchers Hell of France due to the tunnel system in '''and''' out of the city. I've personally been caught there more than a few times and hitching is really difficult especially during peak summer season when spots like the one mentioned in the post below have 4 or 5 hitchers in a queue trying to get out. While it is a beautiful city, if you have no real purpose for going there avoid it like the plague. I once saw a piece of road side graffiti that read "Lyon – Nothing ever leaves here, not even night!!" It is very worthwhile time-wise to get a ride that will take you south of Lyon. Thumbs out! --- [[User:Fruupp|Fruupp]]''
== Hitching Out ==
=== South towards [[Orange]], [[Nîmes]], [[Marseille]], [[St Etienne]] ===
*On ''Quai du Docteur Gailleton'' near ''Rue Franklin'' there is a bus stop which makes a great place for cars to pull over. It is very close to metro stop ''Ampère Victor Hugo''. There's plenty of traffic heading to [[Valence]] and [[Orange]], which is a good place to continue further East or West along the coast. <br/>Quite fast you can get a ride to nearest [http://maps.hitchwiki.org/?lat=45.6504383704269&lng=4.838533401489258&zoom=15&trip=0&view=0 petrol station], which is situated 12km south - just try hitchhiking with sign "A7 - 12km sud".
*You also might want to try from Square Julien Gras.
== Sleep ==
The parks on ''Fourvière Hill'' in ''Vieux Lyon'' are peaceful at night and if you are too, no one will bother you for [[camping]] out there. It's nearby, but it feels so far outside of the city that you can get a relaxing night of sleep without worrying about police or thieves. It is however quite difficult to find a flat place there.
