'''Bordeaux''' is a city in the south west of [[France]]. It's the capital city of the [[Aquitaine]] region.
==Hitching Out==
Bordeaux is encircled by the Rocade, a fast dual-carriageway bypass, with no places to stop and pick up hitchhikers. This makes leaving Bordeaux very tricky, although not impossible. It is best to hitchhike on the approach roads to the Rocade in the direction you wish to travel. It is advised to avoid going into the town centre.
===North: [[Paris]]===
Take the bus #12, #28, #91, #92 and stop at ''Maurice Riviére''. Another option is to take bus #91 or #9 and stop at ''Place de Latule''.
===South: [[Biarritz]], [[Spain]], [[Toulouse]]===
The official advice is: ''Quai de la grave'' & ''Rue des Allemandiers'' (bus #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #28, #91, #92) but [[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.
[[Amylin]] advises that this roundabout is also a region where prostitutes tend to linger, so even if you don't look like one and do carry a clearly-written sign, stupid horny drivers might try and pick you up persistently. Sometimes, they appear like "normal" drivers at first, but when you get to talking with them, you realize they only want one thing from you, and whether you want it or not. If you hitch here as a single girl, it's not too recommended. [[fr:Bordeaux]]{{IsIn|Aquitaine}} [[trash:Bordeaux]]
