Changes

An other way to get there is to take the bus L92 to Seclin Gare or the bus 55 to ''Seclin Le Riez''. From there on, walk for about 15 minutes to ''"Aire de Phalempin"''

A ticket for the Ilevia network cost 1.70 EUR, as of January 2022. It is hard to fraud in buses, and the chances to get controlled on regional trains are high. Try at least to find a ticket on the floor in any station, as it is better to have an 'invalid ticket' in case of a control.

The '''French/Belgian border''' is not a good spot anymore. It is now just a big parking lot where trucks stop, all sign of the previous building there have vanished, it is hard to hitch on the highway as hardly any car stops there.

To get there you'll have to take the Line 2 of the metro until "C. H. Dron" (last stop, and actually already in Tourcoing, not in Lille). And walk 30 to 45 Min to it there is an access road with to fence or barrier stopping people on foot. You might be able to get a ride to the petrol station 5 km into Belgium at Kortrijk where loads of Netherland folk stop for a refill.

It is a very quiet village in which you'll have to walk around 15 minutes to reach the gas station. From there, most of the cars go to Brussels but you can easily find a hitch to the main Wallonian cities ([[Mons]], [[Charleroi]], [[Namur]], [[Liège]]).
