__NOTOC__
'''Aix-en-Provence''' (also ''Ais de Provença'' or ''Ais de Prouvènço'') is a city in [[France]]. Aix is beautiful city in the South of France, 30 km from [[Marseille]]. It is worth seeing for its architecture. There are few universities, so you can find here big population of students. Although locals seem to be very posh and snobbish, hitchhiking in this area is quite easy.

[[File:Aixtrace.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Hitching spot]]
There is a very good hitchhiking spot at ''Pont de l'Arc'' (it is the name of the crossroad on A8 - ''La Provençale''). It is 20 min walking from city center; very easy to find - just go down ''Avenue Brossolette'' till the motorway. Place yourself at the entrance to the motorway, there where pavement ends. You can try to hitch cars coming from your left and right, but for safety reasons better if you focus on cars arriving from your left.
There you can also find numerous hitchhikers' [[Traces]].
=== North/West East towards [[SalonNice]], [[Cannes]], [[Toulon]] and [[Italy]] === Pont de l'Arc at the end of Avenue Pierre Brossolette -dejust after the co-voiturage pull-in there are numerous points where the curb is lower - and got a lift within a few minutes. Traffic goes slowly there - the actual on-Provence]] ramp down to the motorway is a bit sketchy for hitching, so best to hitch before it. Another plus about hitching before it is you can grab the traffic that will take the national route across, which also goes this way. ==Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ==
