* I really don't know why everyone hitches from the centre, when you can actually get to the motorway easily with the tram. Take number B, direction Pessac Centre and get off at Saige. Then walk back on that small parallel road Rue de la Ramée and follow it to the right. Then straight ahead, at the corner where the street turns again walk on up the hill till you hit the protection wall of the motorway. follow the wall to the left - it's a bit of a walk, but at the end there will be an access point. Cross the first on ramp, cross the field and voila: the next on ramp (direction Biarritz) has a small spot for parking there. Waited 5 minutes and cars are comparably slow (50 kmh, even though I think they don't care about the traffic sign there.) // [[User:Pablo.gelato|Pablo.gelato]] strongly disagrees and thinks this is a dangerous spot because ON the motorway with two lanes and cars at 80-100km/h. The spot for parking is not small but very very very small and it is dangerous if cars would try to stop there unless no other car is in sight. NOT recommended!
* You can take the Tram B towards Pessac Centre and get off at Montaigne-Montesquieu. Then you can walk through the university to this spot: [https://www.google.pt/maps/place/Ecole+d'Architecture/@44.7919076,-0.6069205,17.25z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0xd55277ca268f08f:0x4587fa5100d62492!2sCours+de+la+Lib%C3%A9ration,+Gradignan,+Francia!3b1!8m2!3d44.7911157!4d-0.6053846!3m4!1s0xd54d8a1e50ab175:0x406a7ebaf423b00d!8m2!3d44.7927729!4d-0.6052592?hl=es see map]. The cars there will most probably take the A63 that goes south. There is a bus stop (Ecole d'architecture) where you can stand with a sign and the cars will have space to stop and don't go very fast.[[User:Mejd||Mejd]] totally agrees with this advice. It's the best way to go to Biarritz and swim in the ocean. (It took me 3 minutes to get a ride! I've choosen a bus stop Ecole de Management, which is just before Ecole d'architecture.)
*There is a big service station with a lot of traffic on A63 in the suburb of Cestas, 8 km from the highway circle that surrounds Bordeaux. There is a railway going from Bordeaux train station to a suburb Gazinet, from there it's about 45 minutes walk to the resting area. It's possible that some local busses go directly to Cestas. When you walk to the area, go to the one that is on the wrong side of the highway (driving direction north). There is a tunnel connecting two sides of the resting area and it appears to be much easier to reach the wrong side. (The bus is [http://transgironde.gironde.fr/ftp/FR_document/SIV%20602%20ETE.pdf 602] from tram Pessac-Unitec. Go until Cestas Gendarmerie. Walk ahead to Avenue Baron Haussmann, then right, then right along Route de Fourc, at the roundabout to the left and follow signs to Plan d'eau de Pinoche.)
