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.

== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out ==

=== West towards [[Vannes]], [[Lorient]], [[Quimper]] ===Take the bus 11 to the stade Route de Lorient. You can't miss the stop, it's in front of the stadium after 300m you will see a first traffic light it's the entrance of ring road you can start hitchhike just after, there also 3 service station before this road change into a motorway 2km further a bus stop and a lot of traffic light, the first petrol station is probably the best spot as there is traffic light before and after people are going slowly. === West towards [[Saint Brieuc]], [[Morlaix]], [[Brest (France)|Brest]] ===Get to the ''J.F. Kennedy'' subway station (see map). Then walk along the ''Boulevard d'Anjou'' towards the ''Route de Saint-Brieuc''. At the roundabout , you'll find a perfect hitchhiking spot. === North-West towards [[Saint-Malo]], [[Dinard]] ===Go to the roundabout between ''Rue Saint-Malo'' and ''Route Saint-Malo''. Many buses can get you there it's close to ''arrêt Léonard'' (14,52,68,78,C4), ''arrêt Grand Quartier'' and ''arrêt Dulac''. Take the roundabout and walk a few metters on ''Route Saint-Malo'' (also named N137) until you see the ''Rennes'' exit sign ([https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.1333733,-1.6911018,3a,75y,8.84h,90.81t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smvkxr59g2gNW6oXuXNSyEg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 link to google street view]). Cars can stop here and the road is leading straigth to St-Malo.

Take the metro towards the ''Henri Fréville'' station (see map)or bus 3 to Alma. There, walk down the ''Passage Henri Fréville'' for some meters towards a roundabout. Walk straight forward, down under over the highway motorway bridge and there you'll find a good spot to head towards [[Nantes]]. Take a closer look at the map the on the right to find out where exactly. === South toward [[Angers]] ===Take the metro to the last station ''La poterie'' and just walk to the roundabout, another option is to take the bus 62, 73, 75 to the town of ''Verne sur Seiche'' stop at ''La poste'' or ''Verne église'' for the 62 and walk weast to the roundabout it the entrance of a small motorway toward [[Angers.]] The bus 73 can even send you further to Corps Nuds but I've never been there, looking on googlemaps there should be at least two spot to hitchhike 2km south.

[[ImageFile:Hitchrennes.png‎ png|thumb|600pxright|left400px|RENNES EASTGood places are marked green.]]Anyway, it's a little bit complicated, no close toll, no petrol station near from at my knowledge... The goal is too find where the cars leaving from the center of Rennes get to take the A81...GPS System propose them to take the "rue de Nantes" toll station just before [[Laval]], you can easily find a car to go on the "rocade" and next A81 however we don't see spots on the maps, maybe Paris there is a petrol station on that avenue, but this I'm not sure...

When I left Rennes Take the metro to the end station ''La Poterie''. From here, it was in is about 1 km walking to the night and I was hitchhiking spot. Start walking on ''Rue de Vem'' to the south. To the left you will pass a big round-abount (yellow point from TerreHappy)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, ans I think with a nice place for cars to stop. Use a sign with Laval written on it wasn, if your driver don't want to pay for the best waytoll you can ask him to drop you at the last exit before it from there you can simply walk to the toll station... Find it :) !

IMPORTANT : On [[dws49]] waited 20 minutes and got a ride all the sign put "Laval", because you can't put "Vitré" no petrol station and no toll before... Don't put like me "Le Mans" too far way to leave that town ....Paris !

Fell free 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 instinctway 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 come 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 here to report your adventurethe 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.. --  == Trashwiki & Nomadwiki == [[Usernomad:Terrehappy|MiShaRennes]] 14[[trash:17, 10 December 2008 (UTC)Rennes]] {{Cities France}} {{IsIn|Bretagne}}{{hitchbase_city|532}}
