=== North towards [[Rennes]] ===
Take the tramway number 2 and get off at "Le Cardo". 20 meters behind you you will see the road going to [[Rennes]]. This is a very famous spot which works very well. Cars have place to stop and as there is a roundabout they are not going fast yet. Hitchhiking here is a joy; if you look at it on Google Street View you can even see a hitchhiker.
=== North West towards [[Saint-Nazaire]], [[Vannes]], [[Brest]] ===  There is a nice spot at the commercial center Atlantis. You can reach it with the tramway number 1, get off at the terminus "François Mitterand". Once there, you follow the railways until the next cross-way (20m), there turn right. On the third roundabout is the sublet to the N444. The walk might take you 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful, this spot doesn It't work on Sunday. Cars taking this sublet are either s a bit dangerous but works very well ; I waited 5 minutes and two people stopped, the second being a Basque trucker who get home from work at took me 200 km into Brittany! -dws49, April 2021 === South West towards [[Noirmoutier]], [[Pornic]], [[Saint-Brevin]] ===Take the Tramway line 3 to Neustrie (the terminus), walk slightly back the way you came and take the road to the industrial zone or people who went shopping in left, Rue de la Baronnaise continue past the commercial centerfirst roundabout and down Rue de la Pierre. On other days of After about 10-15minutes you will arrive on Route de Pornic at a large roundabout which slows traffic, place yourself there or alternatively at the week it's gas station a good spot. You can be seen and cars have space little further along, the round about seems to stopwork best.
=== South towards [[Bordeaux]], [[Niort]], [[Toulouse]] ===
Take the BusWay (line 4 of tram network) to Bourdonnières, cross the carpark and wait at the small roundabout, on Boulevard de Vendee. The first petrol station leaves you on the A83, the motorway towards Niort.
There's also the peage [toll booth] about 5-10km down the road - from there you can find long distances rides with a sign for Bordeaux.
 
Another easy way is to take the BusWay, line 4, and stop at Clos Thoreau bus stop. In front of this busstop, on the Boulevard Emile Gabory, you hitchhike with a sign for Niort or Bordeaux, near the walking path, and just before the supermarket parking entrance, so that the cardrivers can stop.

=== East towards [[Paris]], [[Angers]], [[Le Mans]] ===
#Take the tramway number 1 and get off at "Bd de Doulon". Down the street "Boulevard Doulon" and go to the roundabout at the junction with the Boulevard de Sarrebruck. There you can start hitchhike, you can be seen and cars have space to stop.
#Take the tramway number 1 and get off at "Haluchere". Cross the tramway rails: the road ahead is Route the Paris, the old road to Paris. If you don't go further then Angers, you can try on this road: you will find cars at the Leclerc petrol station (see below). For more distant destinations, it is better to take the highway at the junction 4 km further on Route de Paris. To get there, you can walk (about 1 hour), or take bus number 78 to Cifam or 85 to Bel Air (pay attention to timetables, these buses don't always work). But the best is to find a ride until there from the Leclerc petrol station. To get ther, start walking on route the Paris. Soon you will see a Leclerc supermarket on your right side. The petrol station is in front of it. You can try to find cars going on the highway, but it is rare. Instead, you can ask them to take you to the junction 4 km further. Once you are at the junction, just stop at the red light in the middle of the road. The cars turning here go all on the highway.
'''Option 1''' Close to city center, if you are lucky  Take the tramway number 1 and get off at Bd De Doulon. Go down the street to the roundabout at the junction with the Boulevard De Sarrebruck. There you can start hitchhike, you can be seen and cars have space to stop.  '''Option 2''' On the tramway line : Leclerc gas station Take the tramway number 1 and get off at Haluchere. Cross the tramway rails: the road ahead is Route De Paris, the old road to Paris. If you don't go further then Angers, you can try on this road: continue north-east and you will find cars at the Leclerc petrol station (see below).   '''Option 3''' Safest option : at the junction light For more distant destinations, it is better to take the highway at the junction 4 km further on Route de Paris. Once you are at the junction, stand at the red light in the middle of the road, in the lane which turns left towards Paris. The cars turning here go all on the highway. You can walk along the lane with your sign when cars are waiting.  To get there, from Haluchere:<br>A) walk Route de Paris about hour<br>B) take bus 77 to Cifam, then 5 minutes walk on the Route De Paris to the traffic lights (bus runs only on working days)<br>C) take bus 85 to Parc (every day, 2/hour) , then 5 minutes walk Rue Des Carrières till it goes along the Route de Paris, cross the bushes to join it, take on left and walk till the traffic lights. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{IsIn|Pays de la Loirenomadwiki}}[[trash:Nantes]]{{Cities France}}
