Changes

Apart from an attractive city in itself, it is situated next to a main motorway A9/E15 connecting cities such as [[Perpignan]] and [[Barcelona]] to the South, [[Aix-en-Provence]] and [[Marseille]] to the East, [[Lyon]] and [[Paris]] to the North, and [[Toulouse]] and [[Bordeaux]] to the West.

=== All Directions ===

The newest tramway line in Montpellier, line 2 (the flower tram), goes directly to a ''péage'' (toll plaza). Take tram line 2 from the train station, in the direction of "St. Jean de Vedas", then get out at the next-to-last stop, "St. Jean le Sec". At the stop look around and you will see a ''péage''. You can hitchhike from this one, but there is low traffic, so it is better to continue to the multi-lane ''péage'' where all the cars from North or South have to stop. To reach it, you must walk for 10 minutes beyond the first ''péage''. It is illegal and quite dangerous to walk on the ''autoroute'', so you need to walk far to the side, staying on the grass if possible. You will see the big ''péage'' from where you can find a 300 or 400 km ride in any direction.
