Hitchhiking out
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 by A7, towards A8, Aix en Provence, Avignon, Lyon, Montpellier or Nice
- You can stand on the entrance to the L'Autoroute de Soleil (A7), 3 minutes' walk northwest from the central station Gare Saint Charles. From the station main entrance, follow the blue road signs for the autoroute. It is quite possible that there will be other hitchhikers there. It seems to be a fantastic spot.
- You can try at the roundabout near the Arc de Triomphe − Place Jules Guesde. That is where the L'Autoroute de Soleil starts. Place yourself just before the highway begins, still on the roundabout.
- Another option is to travel by bus to Aix en Provence (4 Euros) and from there either to Avignon or to Nice.
East to Nice and Italy
- 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, with traffic lights and speed limits.
