'''Montpellier''' is a city in the South of [[France]].
Apart from an attractive city in itself, it is situated next to a main motorway [[A9(France)|A9]]/[[A15 (France)|E15 ]] connecting cities such as [[Perpignan]] and [[Barcelona]] to the South, [[Aix-en-Provence]] and [[Marseille]] to the East, [[Lyon]] and [[Paris]] to the North, and [[Toulouse]] and [[Bordeaux]] to the West.
== Hitchhiking out ==
==== The easy spot =East and North [[Marseille]], [[Lyon]], beach ===The roundabout "all directions" tip above, or:If you like [[hitchhiker's safety|safe]] and easy hitchhiking, it's advised to take Tram number 1 to Odysseum, get off at Place de France, which is one stop before the last stop, then walk a good spot for both directionsbit back to the roundabout and go the Av. Good traffic at normal hoursdu Mondial up to the north. In case Walk straight and you're going '''south'''will see a hill on the left, "right in front of the highway. Go up (better to have good shoes on!) and you find at the top this brilliant hitchhiking spot - Elf [[Bézierspetrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]]" is . You can try there, or stand with a good city sign on Av Pierre Mendes, just before the entrance to put the station. [https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=43.60806%2C3.91311#map=18/43.60806/3.91311 where it is?] === South or West towards [[Perpignan]], [[Toulouse]], [[Bordeaux]] and [[Barcelona]] === ==== From first large gas station Aires de Service de Montpellier ENI Fabrègues ==== First large gas station headed west on your signthe A9 from Montpellier, 'Aires de Service de Montpellier ENI Fabrègues' To get there, take the tram line 2 until the final station 'Saint Jean de Védas Centre' (from the station Gare Saint-Roch it will take you 21 minutes according to the agency's website). The next petrol That same station is right out where bus line 33 begins, able to be taken with the same ticket as the tram. The 33 does not run so very frequently (outside of Montpellierpeak hours and most especially on weekends and holidays), and there so it is useful to coordinate with its scheduled departures, which can be found [https://www.tam-voyages.com/horaires_ligne/?rub_code=6 here] (searching for 33, direction is another one before Bézier'FABRÈGUES - Lou Paillas').
Getting off at 'Les Hauts'[NB: user probably means 'AttentionLes Cousses''': ; according to the bus agencies website there is no parking spot after the stop 'Les Hauts'péage). You will be on 'Avenue Charles de Gaulle' so . You go down this road to the crossing with Larenas road. You will see a square of shops (one sailing trailers), go along it on its right side when you face it. You will find an empty field on your right that you'll have cross (there is a little path and a hole in the little fence at his end) to do reach a little park, go until 43.554730, 3.789669 where the dry (summer 2019) stream is totally crossable (even in winter since it at not really wide). Pass under the brigde that is above the very place road D613 and simply follow the people pay. Which path that locals use (and is sometimes tolerated by on no maps) and you are going to reach the personnel'Chemin des Fabriques' that leads you directly to the gas station 'Aires de Service de Montpellier ENI Fabrègues': 43.547322, and sometimes not3.794899.
'''Option One''': Another option is to get to ''Place de L'Europe'' ([httphttps://www.liftershalteopenstreetmap.infoorg/search?latquery=43.605691341740744&lng60735%2C3.89391#map=18/43.60742/3.9101028442382812&zoom=15&trip=0 location89523]), for example by taking tramline 1tram line 2. From there you can already see signs to the motorway. You can either follow those signs and the main road ''Avenue de Président Pierre Mendes France'' for about 15 to 20 minutes, or get a ride from where this road starts to either your destination or to a better location further up the road, at the roundabout where the main motorway A9/E15 actually connects to the ''Avenue de Président Pierre Mendes France''.
''Note'': There is not a very good spot for cars to stop, but they stop at the [[roundabout]] for traffic with enough time to ask drivers for a ride, and for them to open the door.
'''Option Two''': A second option is the [httphttps://mapswww.googleopenstreetmap.frorg/search?ie=UTF8&om=1&z=15&llquery=43.58953,358922%2C3.891821&spn89010#map=018/43.01548,058922/3.040255 89010 roundabout] off ''Avenue de Palavas''(near Tramway 4 - Garcia Lorca). However there is no good spot for cars to stop at the roundabout, and nowhere on the ramp either. [[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]] waited for an entire day for a ride to [[Perpignan]] without luck and shamefully retreated to the train station. '''Option Three''': Take tram to stop "Sabines" and walk down Avenue d'El Alamein. You'll find roundabout. Go straight and you'll find toll station (Péage). You can try to stop car there. Before péage is large area where drivers can stop car and give you a lift.
