Hitching out

South direction Paris, Lille

Leaving Mons is quite complicated since the motorway is very big (more the 4 ways) and there's nowhere for the cars to stop. The big issue is to find a lift to the first service area called Saint-Ghislain. The best place for this would be near the parking of the Brico, a DIY shop.

North direction Brussels

The best way is probably by going to the Grands Prés, and look for a car there, because else where would be kind of dangerous.
