Like nearly every big city, it's difficult to hitchhike out of it. Paris is even more difficult, since the city, situated within the ring highway (''periférique'') is relatively small, but surrounded by endless suburbs.
===[[A1 autoroute (France)|A1 ]] Northeast towards [[Lille]], [[Belgium]]=== ====Aire La Courneuve====Aire La Courneuve is the first gas station on the A1 north. It's at km 5.
Take RER B to Stade de France and after walking a while you'll find a final traffic light where you can ask for the first gas station on the motorway, which is about 2 km away and ''not'' accessible from outside of the motorway.
Possibly better: take line 13 to Carrefour Pleyel, walk along Boulevard Anatole France [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Paris,+France&ie=UTF8&ll=48.925037,2.354808&spn=0.0172,0.040169&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 getting off the highway at exit 4).
====Charles de Gaulle====
:''There might be a good spot at Charles de Gaulle airport, though I don't know where exactly. Once I waited 5 minutes, another time 4 hours.''
