It was build to house the Université Catholique de Louvain after the luingistic quarrels in the 60's. There are a lot of possible destinations from Louvain-la-Neuve (eabout 11.g000 inhabitants and 20. : Brussel, Namur and Luxemburg by E411 highway, Mons, Paris via Nivelle by RN25 highway)000 students. There are two main hitchhike spot in LLN : the first The tiny city-center is on all pedestrian. If you stay during the beginning of week (exept during the RN25 and summer holidays) you might take part to the second is one of the best spot i ever saw, on incredible student-parties all night long. One beer cost around 0.80€ in the "Esplanadecercles"-cross-point, to go on the E411 highway(students pubs).
== Hitchhiking out ===== North----West towards [[Brussels]] / South towards [[Namur]], [[Luxembourg]], France ===From the city center walk all the way up to the roundabout of the shopping center "Esplanade" (about 10 min). While walking along the Boulevard de Wallonie, you'll see a petrol station, but you better walk a little longer and stand on the roundabout behind the sign "E411 Bruxelles". It is '''the''' perfect enlightened spot to go either north or south (road splits a little further). You may definitely meet other hitchhikers...
[[Image:LLnspotIf you are traveling south, and you don't want to stay in Namur but rather keep going south, ask the driver to drop you at the roundabout of Namur centre exit. Same kind of spot...gif]]
=== South-West towards [[Mons]], [[Paris]] ===
Stand at the beginning of the RN25 (15-20 min walk). The spot is not that great, but you should be fine with a sign !
