'''Bordeaux''' is a city in the south west of [[France]]. It's the capital city of the [[Aquitaine]] region.
== Hitchhiking out ==
 
Bordeaux is encircled by a ring road (''rocade'' in french), a fast dual-carriageway bypass, with no places to stop and pick up hitchhikers, and peages are far and not easy to reach by walking or public transport. This makes leaving Bordeaux very tricky, although not impossible. It is best to hitchhike on the approach roads to the ring road in the direction you wish to travel. It is advised to avoid going into the town centre.
=== North towards [[Tours]], [[Paris]] ===
To reach the gas station on the ring road/''rocade'':
Total gas station on the ring road Take the Tramway tram A, to “Gravières”Gravières stop. Follow the street Rue des Gravières/Rue François Villon which is on the right hand side just before the tram arrives at the stop from the city centre. At a big crossroad, go left down the big crossing road named ''Avenue de Paris''. There is a small road parallel of this street in the industrial estate, take it (rue Jean Raymond Guyon). It ends to a roundabout but here is a small old pedestrian road. Take it. Cross the bridge that crosses the motorway. From it, you can see two Gas Total gas station on different sides of the road. The fences are broken so you can walk easily to the furthest one away for the North (Paris, etc.)
Ask for going to the next BP gas station, just before “Saint André de Cubzac” if nobody takes the A10. At the next petrol station, there is a restaurant, so a lot more people.
For the south one can use the first service station seen from the pedestrian bridge.
=== East towards Perigeux, [[Clermont-Ferrand]], [[Lyon]] === A big outward road leads from the city center over bridges over the Dordogne, over the ring motorway and later becomes the motorway A 89 (E 70) to the east. Shortly after it crosses the ring there is a good spot: There is a junction, where all the eastbound traffic from the ring joins. One may ask waiting drivers at the traffic lights or stand beside the road after that, because it is no not a motorway yet. Drivers can see you there, and go slow because normally everyone has to stop at the traffic lights, and there is a broad hard shoulderand bus stops, where one can safely stop and continue. Few A few hundred meters further there is also a small dedicated fuel fStation Carrefour Lormont Fuel station on that road.The tramway To get there on public transit, take the purple line A goes out of (both lines to Dravemont or La Gardette bassens work) from the city center to near the stop Buttinière. The line follows a big avenue (Avenue Carnot) for roughly 3km. At Buttinière you get out and walk along that placesame Avenue Carnot for another 1-1. From 5km passing on your left first the Polyclinique de Bordeaux then a gigantic Carrefour supermarket and stop lights.  === South towards [[Bayonne]], [[Toulouse]], [[Barcelona]] ([[Spain]]) === ''Buttinière'Option 1''' it is about two kilometres along Total gas station on the big alley (Avenue Carnot).ring road
=== South towards [[Biarritz]]Take the tram A to Gravières stop. Follow the street Rue des Gravières/Rue François Villon which is on the right hand side just before the tram arrives at the stop from the city centre. At a big crossroad, [[Toulouse]]go left down the big crossing road named Avenue de Paris. There is a small road parallel of this street in the industrial estate, [[Barcelona]] take it ([[Spain]]rue Jean Raymond Guyon) ===*The official advice . It ends to a roundabout but here is: ''Quai de la grave'' & ''Rue des Allamandiers'' (bus #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #28, #91a small old pedestrian road. Take it. Cross the bridge that crosses the motorway. From it, #92)you can see two Total gas station on different sides of the road. For the south one can use the first service station seen from the pedestrian bridge.
*[[User:Carl|Carl]] has had more success at the roundabout where Quai Paludate, Quai Brienne and Rue Carle Vernet meet. Carry a clear sign indicating your direction (''Biarritz'' or ''Toulouse'' work best, depending on your direction), and stand in the [[lay-by]] on the roundabout at the entrance to Rue Carle Vernet, so you catch the traffic from the preceding two junctions heading for the Rocade. The roundabout is easy to reach from tram C stop Carle Vernet.
* This '''Option 2''' Closer to the entrance of the highway. Take the bus #15 towards "Villenave d'Ornon" and exit at "Pont de la Maye" (you can ask the bus driver to tell you when it is). Then, walk in the same direction that the bus went, on the road. Cross the bridge above the road. Just after the bridge there is a little grassy hill on the right. Walk down the hill. You'll arrive on a roundabout is also with a region where sex workers tend road going directly to linger. A62 ([[User:Amylin|AmylinToulouse]] advises that even if ). There is some space on the roundabout so the cars can stop and pick you donup relatively easily.   '''Option 3'''t look like one  You can take the tram B towards Pessac Centre and do carry a clearlyget off at Montaigne-written sign, stupid horny drivers might try and pick Montesquieu stop. Then you up persistentlycan walk through the Ecole D'architecture university to this spot: [https://www.google.pt/maps/place/Ecole+d'Architecture/@44.

The cars there will most probably take the A63 that goes south. If There is a bus stop (Ecole d'architecture) where you hitch here as can stand with a single girl, itsign and the cars will have space to stop and don's not too recommendedt go very fast.You can choose a bus stop Ecole de Management, which is just before university 
== Public transport ==
 
In the tramway, there are very few controls, but there is no way to avoid the control when it happens. Therefore, it's wise to travel with a valid ticket to punch in case of need.
