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't work on Sunday. Cars taking this sublet are either people who get home from work at the industrial zone or people who went shopping in the commercial center. On other days of the week it's a good spot. You can be seen and cars have space to stop.
