* '''Last verified''': August 2012. The best place to go anywhere is the hard shoulder near Porte d'Arras Metro station - just follow the signs to Highway.

(this spot is also indicated in the section describing direction south (A1/A26).
=== Going south? take A1 towards [[Paris]], or directly to south of France join the A26 towards [[Reims]], [[Dijon]], [[Lyon]] (so also direction Spain & Italy) ===
Heading south?
Even more time to leave Paris.
Better choose a '''"LYON"-sign'''.In this case try to get on the A26. Try someone take you to the "Peage" (=toll) right before the junction between A1/A26. Stand at this "Peage" -square with a e.g. "A26/LYON"-sign makes more sense).
