Lyon
,no edit summary
==Hitching Out==
Hitchers should keep in mind that Lyon is known as the Hitchers Hell of France due to the tunnel system in AND out of the city. I've personally been caught there more than a few times and hitching is really difficult especially during peak summer season when spots like the one mentioned in the post below have 4 or 5 hitchers in a queue trying to get out. While it is a beautiful city, if you have no real purpose for going there avoid it like the plague. I once saw a piece of road side graffiti that read "Lyon - Nothing ever leaves here, not even night!!" It is very worthwhile time-wise to get a ride that will take you south of Lyon. Thumbs out! --- Fruupp
===South towards [[Orange]], [[Nîmes]], [[Marseilles]]===
It can take a little while to get a ride, but at least there's a nice place to wait a few blocks from metro stop Ampère Victor Hugo. On Quai du Docteur Gailleton near Rue Franklin there is a bus stop which makes a great place for cars to pull over. There's plenty of traffic heading to Valence and Orange, which is a good place to continue further East or West along the coast.
