The petrol station [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=5201 to the stop ''Aire de Service de La CourneuveParc des Sports''] . This bus stop is about 2 km along next to the A1highway. Just walk to the right from the bus stop, north without ever passing under the overpass. Then walk east parallel to the motorway through the parking lot of Parisan apartment complex. There is a wall preventing access to the motorway, but if you continue walking a few hundred meters east and up a slight grassy hill, the wall ends. You can then follow a steep, thorny path full of nettles down towards the motorway and back west towards the petrol station. There is a fence right along the motorway, but near the petrol station it has been trampled down and you can step over it.

First, get closer by public transport. Some options are: * Bus 150 from ''Porte de la Villette'' (metro line 7), get off at ''Parc des Sports'' (next to the motorway)* Bus 250 from ''Fort d'Aubervilliers'' (metro line 7), get off at ''Parc des Sports'' (the quickest way?)* [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=La+Courneuve+Aubervilliers&daddr=Rue+Paul+Verlaine,+93120+La+Courneuve,+Seine-Saint-Denis,+Ile-de-France,+Frankreich&sll=48.926137,2.394161&sspn=0.01892,0.040169&ie=UTF8&cd=1&ll=48.928026,2.388539&spn=0.018919,0.040169&z=15&om=1 ''La Courneuve Aubervilliers''] (RER B), and walk 2 km north along ''Boulevard Pasteur''. You can catch this train from ''Gare du Nord''. This option requires a '''1-3 zones ticket''', without this ticket you will have to jump over the turnstiles to get out of the station of your destination (or talk your way out or closely follow someone else with a valid ticket). [This option didn't work for me. the door was up, not on the floor level so not reachable. I couldn't find any hole in the fence......so i took a tram to Lafontaine hospital. You can take the tram on the corner, it's only 3 stops. The high way entrance in right there. Ask people if any doubt]. Read this carefully because if you don't, it can be hard to find it and the local people definitely won't know where this is or how to get there by foot! Once at the ''Parc des Sports'' bus stop, the highway (A1) is right in front of you if you look in the direction the bus was driving. (There's another road behind it that resembles a highway, but this is just an onramp.) This is the highway that you want to follow eastward. Basically you just walk to the right from the bus stop in the driving direction, without ever passing under the road. Follow along the road and walk east parallel to the motorway, through the parking lots of an apartment complex. There is a wall preventing access to the motorway, but if you continue walking a few hundred meters east and up a slight grassy hill, the wall ends. You can then follow a steep, thorny path full of nettles down towards the motorway and back west towards the petrol station. There is a fence right along the motorway, but near the petrol station it has been trampled down and you can step over it. From the petrol station, most drivers are only going to the airport or local communities. You should ask for a lift at least to the [[toll station]] (''péage'') heading north. This is a 20-minute drive down the motorway (some kilometers after the airport) and everyone has to stop here. It is a great place to get long-distance rides.
