'''Orléans''' is a city in the [[Centre (France)|Centre]] of [[France]].
It is may be extremely difficult to get out of if not dropped off in a decent spot for traffic heading out of the city and everywhere seems to be a continuation of a suburb or industrial complex. [[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] has got stuck here for hours quite a few times.Fortunately you can easily reach the highway by streetcar
== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out ==
Try to get as far out of the city center as you can, its a little comparable to [[Paris]] but not as huge.
=== North toward Paris ===Head to the start of Rue Nationale http://bit.ly/SctEuZ. From here there is either the opportunity to hitch at the beginning of the highway or at the start of the national road to Paris. The national road seems to have more small trucks going on it to avoid the tolls of the highway, but you have to walk a bit further north (100m or so) to a driveway or something for cars to be able to pull over. === North/South/West/East towards [[Nevers]], [[Montargis]], [[Sens]], [[Osten]] and [[E60]] ===
The only advice that can seemingly be found is on [http://www.hitchbase.com/ HitchBase] -
Take the bus number 8 (=> going to ''Herveline'') , and get out of the bus just after it turns left (when you are really out of the city, after ''l'avenue des droits de l'hommme'') then go back to the roundabout and go straight: it's really easy for the drivers to stop because they can park safely on the right.
=== A10 ===Take bus 26 MARMOGNE from the centrestreetcar (i think it leaves tramway) line 2 from a garage that looks like is inside a supermarket or some big store), ask the driver where to get out if you wanna walk to center until the A10 motorway(autoroute)end stop "Georges Pompidou". He will probably tell you Go back to get off near this small foodstore or somewhere around. Just ask anybody where is the autoroute roundabout and then walk to the peagehighway will be on your left. Stand at the [[péage]] (very easy, no need to jump or climb anything) that goes to the A10 where you can easily get a ride towards [[Bordeaux]].Its It's also a very good way to go further south towards [[Spain]], west (Tours) and North (Paris or Montargis). Went to Paris from here, most people are going to the A71 (towards Toulouse) or to the A10 but headed for Tours. I waited an hour and had to refuse a grand total of 7 cars that were headed south/west. -dws49, April 2021 ==Sleep and fun== A river runs through Orleans. It is possible to sleep along the river as long as you find a good spot with not too many people walking by. The downtown section near the river is the place to go for some fun on a weekend. People are great and open, as they've probably been drinking. Share a drink and listen to some good music with the locals. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
