'''Aix-en-Provence''' (also ''Ais de Provença'' or ''Ais de Prouvènço'') is a city in [[France]]. Aix is beautiful city in the South of France, 30 km from [[Marseille]]. It is worth seeing for its architecture. There are few universities, so you can find here big population of students. Although locals seem to be very posh and snobbish, hitchhiking in this area is quite easy.
== Hitchhiking Out ==
=== North/West towards [[Salon-de-Provence]] ===
Take the bus 3 to ''Val St Andre'' and get down at ''Tourelles'' stop. Walk to the roundabout and turn right. A few meters away is a Total [[petrol station]], you can ask there. If not, keep going and turn left in the next roundabout and just before the [[on-ramp]] it a good place.
=== East and North/West towards [[Salon-de-ProvenceAvignon]], [[Montpellier]], [[Barcelona]], [[Lyon]], also [[Marseille]] ===[[File:Aixtrace.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Hitching spot]]There is a very good hitchhiking spot at ''Pont de l'Arc'' (it is the name of the crossroad on A8 - ''La Provençale''). It is 20 min walking from city center; very easy to find - just go down ''Avenue Brossolette'' till the highway. Place yourself at the entrance to the highway, there where pavement ends. You can try to hitch cars coming from your left and right, but for safety reasons better if you focus on cars arriving from your left.
