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 highway. Place yourself at the entrance to the highway, 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.

On the spot, you can find numerous hitchhikers' Traces
