Lyon
,no edit summary
The ''autoroute du soleil'' passes through it, so in Summer there are huge amounts of traffic.
:''Hitchers should keep in mind that Lyon is known as the Hitchers Hell of France due to the tunnel system in '''and''' out of the city. I've personally been caught there more than a few times and hitching is really difficult especially during peak summer season when spots like the one mentioned in the post below have 4 or 5 hitchers in a queue trying to get out. While it is a beautiful city, if you have no real purpose for going there avoid it like the plague. I once saw a piece of road side graffiti that read "Lyon - – Nothing ever leaves here, not even night!!" It is very worthwhile time-wise to get a ride that will take you south of Lyon. Thumbs out! --- [[User:Fruupp|Fruupp]]''
== Hitching Out ==
There's a big service area on the Lyon bypass (''Contournement de Lyon'') highway. There are two gas stations, one on each side of the road. Directions are:
* ''Southbound''
** A7 - Marseilles– Marseille, [[Montpellier]]** A47 - – [[Saint Etienne]]
* ''Northbound''
** A6 - – [[Dijon]], [[Paris]]** A42 - – [[Genève]]
