*You can stop at the traffic lights on the bridge Kitchener-Marchand near Perrache (look at this [http://lienpluscourt.com/05a0510d map], you have to hitchhike at the point A, most cars go the way showed in blue that is go to the highway A6 to Paris.) It can be better to write "Péage" (toll) or [[Villefranche]] (and then, stop at the toll or before.)*You can go to the petrol station Bruyéres-Passy on the A6 North. This is a good option because it puts you already north and out of Lyon, at a petrol station right along the highway. To get there take the metro to the stop ''Gare de Vaise''. From there catch the bus number 21 (Any bus with the number 21 will do, as this is the beginning of the route) and get off at the stop called ''Parc Sans Souci''. After you get off the bus continue walking in the direction the bus leaves (as if you were chasing it after you get off!) After about 50 meters you will hit a street called ''Rue Sans Souci'' and turn left. Continue walking following the road about 10 minutes, then turn right onto a road called ''Chemin de la Bruyere''. You should see the petrol station on the left after the Harley Davidson Warehouse/Store. You'll need to jump the fence to get to it. The petrol station is right near a big store called Metro which you can use as a landmark if you need to ask for directions.

*On ''Quai du Docteur Gailleton'' near ''Rue Franklin'' there is a bus stop which makes a great place for cars to pull over. It is very close to metro stop ''Ampère Victor Hugo''. There's plenty of traffic heading to [[Valence]] and [[Orange]], which is a good place to continue further East or West along the coast. Hitchhike on the left lane (cars on the right lane will then turn right...) a bit under the speed camera. <br />Quite fast you can get a ride to nearest [http://maps.hitchwiki.org/?lat=45.6504383704269&lng=4.838533401489258&zoom=15&trip=0&view=0 petrol station], which is situated 12km south - just try hitchhiking with sign "A7 - 12km sud". *You also might want to try from Square Julien Gras.*Just in front of the 'Prison St-Joseph' on 'Quai Perrache' you can stand on the white-striped space between the continuing street and the lane that joins the highway.*A gas station on A7, south of Lyon, on the level of a town called Vernaison, is a perfect place. To get there, you should take a train heading to Vernaison at garre du Perrache (3euro). At Vernaison you cross the river (there are two bridges and an island betwen). Once on the other site of the river, Turn left (north)and walk for a few kilometers (I walked the no-ones land between the motorway and some firm's fenced property, but there may be a way behind the property). The distance from Vernaison train station to the gas station is not the shortest one, but once you are there, you ar really inside the motorway network, so it's worth the effort.
