Hitchhiking out

All buses cost 1€. You can use Google Maps or Moovit to plan your bus ride but sometimes the timings are messed up. Use these pdf schedules which will be more accurate.

North towards Bordeaux, Paris, Nantes

Take the bus nº4 heading to Bruyères, get off at Pierre Benoît and walk straight along the street for around 400m until the second roundabout. There's a sidewalk, a light so you can hitchhike at night if there's traffic and space for people to stop. 43.745598, -1.055465

You'll find traffic going to Bordeaux here, quickly if it's peak traffic hours. If someone takes you to Castets, you can also find a ride, as all traffic from the south that avoids tolls enters back into the highway there.

If you want to go further than Bordeaux, you can ask people to drop you at Aire de Bordeaux-Cestas. You can easily find a ride towards East or North there, or to the Aire de Melillac if you're going towards Paris or Nantes

South towards Bayonne, Biarritz, Spain

Take the bus nº1 heading to Barradeau and get off at La Pince Camot. Walk 1,2Km until this roundabout: 43.725705, -1.098425 . This is a departmental road that goes to Bayonne, it has a lot of roundabouts and most people go to towns. You can find a lot of people that go on the highway, but if you don't, go to Benesse-Maremne and then hitchhike to the toll, which is very easy and quick. There's not much space for cars to stop, but most traffic going towards Bayonne passes here, so you'll eventually get a ride, but you might wait for a while.

You can also take a really cheap bus (XLR 7, 2€) that will take you to Bayonne.

East towards Mont de Marsan, Auch, Toulouse

Take bus nº2, n°4 or nº6, get off at Grand Mail and walk straight along the street for a minute. There's a nice spot where people can stop just after the first roundabout. There's also street lights over there if you ever need to hitchhike at night. Only hop onto cars that can drop you at Mont de Marsan or Tartas, you will struggle otherwise.
