Hitchhiking out

North towards Calais, Amiens, Lille

Option 1 - F1 to Rouge Terre

Take the F1 bus to the Rouge Terre terminus, then continue until the roundabout. The first exit leads to the A28 motorway (except for cars heading to Darnétal, which split off a few hundred meters later). There is some space for cars to stop here.

Option 2 - Quays near N28

Alternatively, you can try hitchhiking from the city center, near the quays before the entry to the N28. However, this is not an ideal spot as it's difficult for cars to stop, and there are many directions to choose from. It may be a challenging place to get picked up.

South towards Paris, Le Mans, Caen

Option 1 - Avenue Jean Rondeaux

Head to Avenue Jean Rondeaux (station "St Sever"), and go up Boulevard de l'Europe toward the prison. Turn right, and you will find a spot to hitchhike. You can also try hitchhiking at the nearby roundabout, but it’s not ideal because many cars take the tunnel directly. The traffic lights on the avenue may provide a better opportunity, although there is still little space for cars to pull over without disrupting traffic.

Option 2 - Gas station before the Caen/Le Mans split

If you're heading towards Caen or Alençon (A13), there's a gas station just before the bifurcation on the A28 motorway, at the Aire Nord de Bosgouet, where you can ask to be dropped off if needed. However, please note that there is no gas station before the bifurcation towards Caen.
