'''Marseille''' (Provençal: '''Marselha''') is the second biggest city of [[France]], located in the south.
== Hitchhiking out ==
Going to Marseille is usually easy, but getting out of it might be a bit more complicated as there are many highways crossing nearby.
=== North-West by A55, towards [[Montpellier]], [[Toulouse]], [[Barcelona]], [[Arles]] ===
Take the metro/tramway to La Joliette or Euroméditerranée Gantès and walk down the main street Boulevard de Dunkerkefor a few blocks. There is the highway North-West A55 that starts there (it's a bridge going up so it's better to stand at the traffic light just before it). A lot of the cars leaving from that point can take you out of Marseille's metropolis and leave you at Fos-sur-Mer, where the road is only one-lane and it's easy to get another lift.
Metro to Bougainville station and walk to petrol station called Briançon Métro station ([https://goo.gl/maps/hDWxuyMwYb2L1y7t7 map]). Place is still in town
Train to Aéroport Marseille Provence and search for Agip fuel station on A7 highway 1 km away
Metro to Bougainville station and walk to petrol station called "Briançon Métro station" (=== North or West by A7, towards A8, [https://goo.gl/maps/hDWxuyMwYb2L1y7t7 here link to the place in google maps[Aix-en-Provence]], [[Avignon]], [[Lyon]], or [[Nice]]). Place is still in town===
Train to Aéroport Marseille Provence and search for Agip fuel Test option - Total petrolstation on A50. Go by bus 12 till stop HLM la Rouguière. Petrol station on A7 highwayis 300 metres away
=== North or West by A7, towards A8, [[Aix-en-Provence]], [[Avignon]], [[Lyon]], or [[Nice]] ===
You can stand on the entrance to the [[L'Autoroute de Soleil]] (A7), 3 minutes' walk northwest from the central station Gare Saint Charles. From the station main entrance, follow the blue road signs.
=== East to [[Nice]] and [[Italy]] and [[Toulon]] ===
It is highly recommended to first go north via A7 and then take the A8. The alternative - A50 east to [[Toulon]] and then up to A8 - is by far less frequented, since the highway goes directly through the city of Toulon, with traffic lights and speed limits.Stand just before the entrance of the motorway [[Toulon]], [[Aubagne]] :boulevard Rabatau, just in front of the Kyriad Hotel or Boulevard Jean Moulin, just after the last trafic light, at the entrance of the motorway which turns on the left.
Good spot is on Bd Vincent Delpuech just before the roundabout where the A50 begins. Nice open space opposite traffic lights with an extra lane for drivers
== Internet ==
You can find computers with internet in the cenral library - Bibliotheque de l'Alcazar. Also they have free wi-fi, comfortable chairs, tables, sockets and toilet. You can use their wi-fi as much as you want. To use their computers you have 1 hour per each day. You need to make your own card with your personal login and password. To do it, you need any ID. Working time Tuesday-Saturday, 11-19:00. I managed to use the computers for ~3 hrs/day by closing my session when I had 10-15mins left and then moving to another computer and opening a new session. I always had another 59mins, besides the last time, when it changed to 49mins.
For a quick check you can also use the computers in Office de Turisme. If you need internet for longer reaserch I recommed going to Les Terrasses du Port, it's open everyday from 10.00 am to 8 pm (or even till 1 am - a part with restaurants).
I stayed at the above spot a few days ago; it really is in many ways a perfect spot. I was not bothered by the police, there is a grocery store (Casino), a cheap kebab place, and a cafe with wifi across the street. There are also public showers (typical outdoor cold water beach showers), which are great. However, be warned that around 4:30 AM, some sprinklers turned on and continued until about 5:30. Also a tractor combing the beach itself in the morning, so if you camp on the sand you will be woken up / run over
