==== Charles de Gaulle =North/Northeast towards [[England]], [[Lille]] and [[Belgium]] {{afr|1}} ===''Charles de Gaulle'' airport can be an option for hitching North-East, although waiting times might vary a lot.
=== A4 East, towards [[Metz]], [[Strasbourg]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Germany]], etc = Option 1: Porte de la Chapelle ====
=== A6 South to [[Lyon]], [[Marseille]], [[Barcelona]], [[Italy]] = Option 3: Charles de Gaulle ====
=== Metro system = Option 5: Porte de Bagnolet (A3) ====Ticket checks never occur on actual metro trainsGoogle maps: [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Porte+de+Bagnolet/@48.8649082, and ticket controllers seem to employ 1 of 2 approaches.4086197,17z/data=!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x47e66e87e1c7d877: first one includes 0x17c4d9a47ae58890!2sPorte+de+la+Chapelle!8m2!3d48.897279!4d2.359192!3m4!1s0x47e66d8329157e27:0x2a4ba9074d60ae9a!8m2!3d48.8645542!4d2.4095799]Get a ticket controllers forming for the station Porte de Bagnolet. This is pretty close to where the A3 starts, which leads to the A1, so a line inside lot of traffic is heading this direction. The place might not be ideal, but it worked. There is a metro tunnel or station exit and checking all bus stop, where buses often stop so the exiting travelers (since they are uniformed it traffic is slowed down, furthermore, there is easy to see them a small gas stop, where you can approach drivers directly which cue up there from a distance unless they decide time to hide around time. Position yourself at the corner); second one involves civil-dressed controllers watching traffic lights before the gates and busting those jumping over - they'll either bus stop them directly themselves, or radio-report to uniformed controllers who then will ask a stopped person show your sign indicating the direction you want to go to show a valid ticket.
=== RER system = Bonus Tip: Arras Service Station====Uniformed controllers will ask for validated tickets Heading north on trains, and since the RER shares the metro infrastructureA1, you might be there is a subject to the checks in similar order mentioned abovefantastic AUTOGRILL Aire de Wancourt Est service station just outside Arras [https://goo. It is possible to travel for freegl/maps/2suUznoe5C42], even though you stand a higher chance of being bustedwith people heading pretty much everywhere. It seems that checks You can occur at any timeget rides to the UK (Chunnel), Lille, Belgium, so the best time to travel for free is a rush hour when controls are impossible due to congestionNetherlands. The highest risk Many difference license plates (GB, F, B, NL, D, E) and lots of being checked seems to occur on transfer stations from RER to metro stationsopportunities.
=== Buses East towards [[Metz]], [[Strasbourg]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Germany]] {{Afr|4}} ===Like in most cities of France, you can walk onto the bus without showing or validating a ticket. Checks are said to be rare, and occur mainly late at night.
=== Fines and punishments = Option 1. From within the city limits: Quai de Bercy ====French transport police won't make any exceptions for foreigners. Although it is said it might be possible to talk them out of fining a "dumb tourist" they are mainly hostile. Most commonly they will ask for a 40 euro fine which can be paid directly in cash or by credit card. Alternatively you can plead poverty, and if you show a valid ID they will post a fine to the address and the name written on ID.
