Montpellier hitchwiki
The roundabout is a good spot for both directions. Good traffic at normal hours. In case you're going '''south''', "[[Bézier]]" is a good city to put on your sign. The next gas station is right out of Montpellier, and there is another one before Bézier. If you're going '''north''', you can write "Nimes" on your sign. There is a gas petrol station before.

'''Montpellier''' is a city in the South of [[France]].
====The easy spot====
The roundabout is a good spot for both directions. Good traffic at normal hours. In case you're going '''south''', "[[Bézier]]" is a good city to put on your sign. The next petrol station is right out of Montpellier, and there is another one before Bézier.
====The hard-core spot====
If the above spot is too low on traffic (or too easy) for your taste, you can continue walking past the small ''péage'' to the multi-lane one 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.
'''Attention''': there is no parking spot after the ''péage'' so you'll have to do it at the very place the people pay. Which is sometimes tolerated by the personelpersonnel, and sometimes not.

=== East and North [[Marseille]], [[Lyon]], plage ===
If you like [[safe]] and easy hitchhiking, it's advised to take Tram number 1 to Odysseum, get off at Place de France, which is one stop before the last stop, then walk a bit back to Av de Mondial 98 till until the roundabout Evariste Galois (5min walking)(there There is nice map in tramstationthe tram station, where you can check). On the left you see the hill. Go up (better to have good shoes on!) and you find at the top this brilliant hitchhiking spot - Elf [[petrol station]]. You can try there, or stand with a sign on Av Pierre Mendes, just before the entrance to the station.
