Lyon
Lyon is a big city in the South East of France. The autoroute du soleil is passing through it, so in Summer there are huge amounts of traffic.
Hitching Out
South towards Orange, Nîmes, Marseille
It can take a little while to get a ride, but at least there's a nice place to wait. There's plenty of traffic heading to Valence and Orange, which is a good place to continue further East or West along the coast.
Getting onto A46 (Lyon Bypass)
There's a big service area on the Lyon bypass (Contournement de Lyon) highway. There are 2 gas stations, one on each side of the road
Directions:
- Southbound: A7 - Marseille, Montpellier A47 - Saint Etienne
- Northbound: A6 - Dijon, Paris A42 - Genève
There's one bus going to the village, the line 179 From "Rond point Darilly" (Métro "Parilly"), but it goes 7 times a day on workdays and 4 times the day on week-ends. there's several stops in the villages. You can check out the timetable here. If you missed it there's a bus No. 39 from metro Venissieux, but goes only until Solaize, 5 km closer to the center on N7.
It's only onformation i found on the net, i didn't verify it since i was dropped off at the station by someone heading to the city, but got a ride in about 1/2 hour (in nov. 2006) --Daniel 20:21, 13 January 2007 (CET)
