'''Marseille''' is the second biggest city of [[France]], located in the south.
Going to Marseille is usually easy, but getting out of it might be a bit more complicated as there are many highways crossing nearby.
=== North-West by A55, towards [[Montpellier]], [[Toulouse]], [[Barcelona]], [[Arles]] ===
Take the metro/tramway to La Joliette or Euroméditerranée Gantès and walk down the main street (Boulevard de Dunkerke) for Dunkerkefor a few blocks. There is the highway North-West (A55) that starts there (it's a bridge going up so it's better to stand at the traffic light just before it). A lot of the cars leaving from that point can take you out of Marseille's metropolis and leave you at Fos-sur-Mer, where the road is only one-lane and it's easy to get another lift.
In the early morning Metro to Bougainville station and walk to petrol station called Briançon Métro station (06[https:00-07:00//goo.gl/maps/hDWxuyMwYb2L1y7t7 map]) a lot of people that live in Marseille go to work to Fos, so it's definitely the best time to be there. Try putting your destination directly on the sign you have (especially if it's big cities like Montpellier or Toulouse everyone will know where it Place is), your driver might actually give you further advice on how to go there. still in town
To Montpellier Train to Aéroport Marseille Provence and further you don't have to take the search for Agip fuel station on A7 highway A7 and A54 (too much of a detour), the other road A55 and N568, passing by Martigues, Fos, through camargue and Arles is the one most people will take (to not pay the tolls) and is even shorter. Plus it is a nice place to see the Rhone's delta (Camargue) landscape.1 km away
=== North or West by A7, towards A8, [[Aix-en-Provence]], [[Avignon]], [[Lyon]], or [[Nice]] ===
* You can stand Test option - Total petrolstation on the entrance to the [[L'Autoroute de Soleil]] (A7), 3 minutes' walk northwest from the central station Gare Saint CharlesA50. Go by bus 12 till stop HLM la Rouguière. From the Petrol station main entrance, follow the blue road signs for the autoroute. It is quite possible that there will be other hitchhikers there. Cars are going quite fast here, and you are actually standing on the motorway, but police are unlikely to bother you. There is not so much long distance traffic, so if you're heading far 300 metres away, a "Lançon" sign is recomended. Get a lift to the [[péage]], or the big [[petrol station]] and you'll easily get a ride to Lyon, Montpellier or anywhere further.
* Another option is to travel by bus to Aix en Provence (6 Euros) and from there either to Avignon or to Nice.
* You can also take a bus (4 Euros) to the first petrol station on the A7 in Vitrolles from the trainstation St.Charles. At the terminal of the bus (called Pierre Plantée) with the terminal at your back you go down the street on the other side of the roundabout. Arriving at the highway you turn right and you will see the pertrolstation (Agip). Its only a little station but you can get a ride to Lançon from there.
=== East You can stand on the entrance to the [[NiceL'Autoroute de Soleil]] and (A7), 3 minutes' walk northwest from the central station Gare Saint Charles. From the station main entrance, follow the blue road signs.Get a lift to the [[péage]], or the big [[Italypetrol station]] "Lançon" and Toulon ===you'll easily get a ride to Lyon, Montpellier or anywhere further.
* It is highly recommended to first go north via A7 and then take the A8. The alternative - A50 east === East to [[ToulonNice]] and then up to A8 - is by far less frequented, since the highway goes directly through the city of Toulon, with traffic lights and speed limits.Stand just before the entrance of the motorway [[ToulonItaly]], and [[AubagneToulon]] :boulevard Rabatau, just in front of the Kyriad Hotel or Boulevard Jean Moulin, just after the last trafic light, at the entrance of the motorway which turns on the left. With a sign Nice it'll work!===
Got an easy ride It is highly recommended to first go north via A7 and then take the A8. The alternative - A50 east to [[Toulon]] and then up to A8 - is by far less frequented, since the highway goes directly through the city of Toulon from a decent , with traffic lights and speed limits. Stand just before the entrance of the motorway [[Toulon]], Aubagne: boulevard Rabatau, just in front of the Kyriad Hotel or Boulevard Jean Moulin, just after the last trafic light, at the entrance of the motorway which turns on the left. Good spot is on Bd Vincent Delpuech just before the roundabout where the A50 begins. Nice open space opposite traffic lights with an extra lane for drivers to pull over in good time.
== Public Transportation ==
== Internet ==
You can find computers with internet in the cenral library - Bibliotheque de l'Alcazar. Also they have free wi-fi, comfortable chairs, tables, sockets and toilet. You can use their wi-fi as much as you want. To use their computers you have 1 hour per each day. You need to make your own card with your personal login and password. To do it, you need any ID. Working time Tuesday-Saturday, 11-19:00.  For a quick check you can also use the computers in Office de Turisme. If you need internet for longer reaserch I recommed going to Les Terrasses du Port, it's open everyday from 10.00 am to 8 pm (or even till 1 am - a part with restaurants). == Sleep== You can find a perfect spot to pitch your tent at the green beaches (called in french Parc Balnéaire du Prado) just get the bus number 83 and get off there, you can't miss it (and don't even think about paying, cause you'll be the only one to do that).Do not do it on the beach! There are plenty of trees close by, do it there.By the way, the beach strip in this part of the city is probably the best. Good luck! {{hitchbase_city|160}}  I stayed at the above spot a few days ago; it really is in many ways a perfect spot. I was not bothered by the police, there is a grocery store (Casino), a cheap kebab place, and a cafe with wifi across the street. There are also public showers (typical outdoor cold water beach showers), which are great. However, be warned that around 4:30 AM, some sprinklers turned on and continued until about 5:30. Also a tractor combing the beach itself in the morning, so if you camp on the sand you will be woken up / run over == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
