Hitching Out

Direction: Torino, Geneve (North, East) A41, A43

The spot is a roundabout right next to the Carrefour at the beginning of the A41, including traffic lights to ask. You reach the place with bus number 9 until Carronnerie basse. There is also space to stop the car and pick up the hikers, in general not the best place to hitchhike but works with a sign and asking people while waiting for the green :-D

Direction: Valence, Lyon, Marseille (North, West, South) A48, A49, A43, A7

You have to get to the spot that's indicated in the map. From train station you'll have to take Rue Casimir Brenier till Cours Jean Jaures, heading left over the bridge (Pont de la porte de France), putting yourself on the square Aristide Briand. It's a middle class roundabout that works quite. I would put myself right next to the traffic lights asking people while it's red instead of putting yourself as indicated a little farther. From there it's not far to the peage and even an petrol station just before, where you get a lift towards Lyon/Valence for sure.

Direction: Marseille (South) A51, D1075

The easiest way to get out of the city is to take bus number 17 to "La cime du bourg". It's about 20 kms from the city-center but it cost as much as all the other city buses ( +/- 1,5 euro ). From the bus-stop, walk back 50 meters to the roundabout. It's the perfect place to hitch-hike. It usually work pretty well in that place so don't go with the first car if it's going only to the next village.
