'''Reims''' is a beautiful city in [[Champagne-Ardenne]], [[France]] which took one anonymous hitchhiker over 8 hours to hitchhike out , east of[[Paris]]. He tried all the roads imaginable and seemingly worthwhile until once lunch-time had already vanished into the past, he realised another approach was needed:

==Hitching OutHitchhiking out =====Towards all directions===Get a bus to a place just outside The three-, later two-lane road passing right in front of the city named train station (Gare SNCF) called ''TinqueuxBoulevard Louis Roederer''leads directly onto A4 in both directions: Paris in the east, Metz/Strasbourg/Germany in the west.At least one bus heads Heading down towards the motorway there is a traffic light switching very frequently, where ''TinqueuxRue Bir Hakeim'' which will run along comes in from the ''Avenue de Paris''lefthand side. At Almost every car leaving Reims comes along here, so there is a roundabout very high density of cars passing by and stopping at the bus will take it's own French route - red light. You cannot directly ask people, but if you're walking then at this with a sign and a charming smile, there is a good chance of getting picked up  === Going west (there's only one[[Paris]]) roundabout take ===The place is the highway ramp going on the {{Afr|4}} towards the west, at the road exit number 22 called ''Avenue de 29th Aout 1944''Tinqueux. A little way past what Google Earth points First you will need to get to as the exact spot of ''Tinqueux'', a suburb of Reims. Best is a street to take bus no. 8 towards Thillois and get off at the stop called ''Rue Charles Boucton''Millésime, the first stop after the bus passes above the highway. Once you (For timetables and other ways to get there , you will discover what you are looking forcan check the website of [http://www.citura.fr/ Citura], the local public transport company.) From the stop it is about 600 m of walking. Start walking back to where the bus came from, out of the shopping zone on rue des Ormisseaux, back to the big road. You will see an enormous hitchhikers heaven - thousands arrive to a huge roundabout. From here, turn right and follow the blue signs to A4, Paris until the next roundabout, from where the ramp goes on the highway. There is a lot of cars traffic and trucksno pedestrian sideways, supermarkets - McDonalds' so be careful to cross the road and petrol stationsthe roundabout. You may be able to get On the ramp, there is a nice spot to stop for the cars.  === Going east ([[Metz]], [[Strasbourg]], [[Lyon]], [[ChinaGermany]] ) ===Get a bus or a lift to the ‘voie verte’ which is near some industrial zones in the Eastern part of the city. Here, it takes about 15 minutes to walk up the ‘l’auoroute de l’est’ {{Afr|4}} for the toll booth (peage). Be careful to walk on the grass behind the motorway barrier. At the toll booth, I waited 10 minutes for a lift. I kept asking drivers that were stopping where they were going with my voice and sign. Ask for the service station not far before the junction between {{Afr|4}} and {{Afr|26}}.Good luck/ Bonne Chance! Buses B and S across town to Cormontreuil (1 ticket, 1.20 euros) but the drop off point was still quite a way from the peage mentioned above, bus T might bring you a place like thisbit closer but you'll still have up to half an hour to walk. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}} {{IsIn|Champagne-Ardenne}}
