Heading south?
have a "PARIS"-sign.
The A1 leads directly to Paris.
As it takes quite some time to go into Paris.
Even more time to leave Paris.
From Lille there are several options to hitch hike direction A1.
;First optionOption 1
Go to ''metrostation « Porte d'Arras »''. From there walk in the direction of the motorway, cross the bridge on the left you will see an accelerating lane going onto the ring (it is the A25, which joins the A1 to Paris after avout 1 km. The best is to stand next to the traffic lights just before the ramp with a sign. People have time to stop on the ramp if they want to take you. [[User:Garthelgard|Garthelgard]] has hitchhiked from this spot more than twenty times and has never waited more than 30 minutes.
;Second optionOption 2Go to ''metrostation « Valenciennes »''. Walking to the north, after about 100 meters you can go eastwards and follow the "''Boulevard de VerdunAvenue Denis Cordonnier''". The A1 crosses this "''Boulevard de VerdunAvenue Denis Cordonnier''". And there is an entrance to the A1. In 2014 there are big building activities of new flats(On crossing "''Avenue Denis Cordonnier''" and "''Boulevard Paul Painlevé''". And the boulevard itself will be changed enormously. So best advice seems to be, just follow the signs Hostel/Auberge de jeunesse "ParisStephane Hessel"., address: ''235, Boulevard Paul Painlevé'')
;Third optionOption 3
At the end of ''Boulevard des Cités Unies'' (at the side of the railways). 300 meters eastwards from metro « Lille Grand Palais », you find an entrance to the A1 direction Paris.
;Fourth optionOption 4Go to ''metrostation « Porte de Postes »''. Here is a big roundabout. It's possible to get a ride in almost any several directions. Eastwards : direction Calais. Westwards : directionParis/Gand/Anvers/Amsterdam/Brussels. It's safe for cars to pull over and one can ask also at the traffic lights.
;Fifth optionOption 5Go to ''metrostation « Porte de Douai »''. Walk or hitch 4 km south (direction Ronchin). Or take the bus "Liane 1". After 4 km you will see a Novotel on your lefthand. There is a roundabout where there is a sign direction A1 Paris. However there is no direct access to the A1, the traffic direction Paris soon joins the A1 near the village Seclin(after several hundreds meter).
