* 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.
There is not so much long distance traffic, so if you're heading far away, a "Lançon" sign is recomended. There is the [[toll station]] and a big [[petrol station]] where you'll easily get a ride to Lyon, Montpellier or anywhere further.
-''Italic text'' I tried this spot, it was okay, but you are actually standing on the motorway! although 3 police cars passed in the opposite direction and didnt do anything. Cars are driving quite fast! get a lift to the first petrol station, its nice to ask from there for futher rides
* Another option is to travel by bus to Aix en Provence (5 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.
