20 minutes down the motorway is a big [[peage]] where everyone has to stop. It's a ideal place to pick up longer rides. Between the [[Aire La Courneuve]] and the [[peage]] there is one smaller rest-area as well as one fairly large petrol-station with generally many cars that stop there. Ask your driver if they pass this petrol-station.
'''Second opinion'''
[[Image:Masaru.jpg|thumb|240px|right|Masaru at Aire La Courneuve]] Take RER B to Stade de France and after walking a while you'll find a final traffic light where you can ask for a ride to the first gas station on the motorway, Aire La Courneuve, which is about 5 km away.
Possibly better: take line 13 to Carrefour Pleyel, walk along Boulevard Anatole France [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=Carrefour+Pleyel+station,+France&daddr=charles+de+gaulle&sll=48.927631,2.383518&sspn=0.027124,0.080338&ie=UTF8&ll=48.923881,2.358456&spn=0.013563,0.040169&t=h&z=15&om=1 Google Maps]. After a while you will see the highway starting. It's not a great spot, but if anyone stops, they can at least drop you off at the gas station (just ask nicely if they are not getting off the highway at exit 4).
=== A10 South to [[Orleans]], [[Bordeaux]], [[Spain]] ===

This road follows the route of the '''A6'''(see above) from Paris, then splits from it near Antony/Rungis. There's no gas station between Porte d'Orleans and the A6xA10 junction [http://maps.google.fr/?ie=UTF8&ll=48.739447,2.302011&spn=0.001638,0.003455&t=h&z=18 only that one - and she's working !]. So an easy option is to stand at Porte d'Orleans (the same than for the A6) with a sign specifying that you go to Orléans. There is a péage in Saint Arnoult, before the split between A10 and A11, so you can accept a ride going to Orléans or Chartres, for example. Just care that the people will leave you at a mininun at the "péage de Saint Arnoult". [[User:Pietshah|Pietshah]] did that ride tons of times.
