Getting onto the A10 highway is not an easy task, and will involve a train ride and some walking.
The first petrol station is situated near the village called ''Briis-sous-Forges''. To get there you need to take either RER B to ''Massy-Palaiseau'' or RER C to ''Dourdan'' (ticket costs around 7€). From there take the bus 91.03 to ''Briis-sous-Forges''. It runs about 3 times an hour on weekdays, once an hour on Saturdays, and there are no buses on Sundays. The petrol station is situated a couple of kms North from the village. To reach it you will need to find ''Route d'Invilliers'', a small local road parallel to the highway. Once you are there, make sure your driver takes the right road as the A11 starts not far away.
Another solution is to start hitching at ''Dourdan''. Go to ''rue d'Etampes'' and start thumbing at a roundabout there. In ''Les-granges-du-roi'' take the D838 that will lead you to the A10 motorway ramp. Note, though, that it is a bit far to walk - around 10 km -, and the traffic is weak. Hitch there before the ''barrière de péage'' with a sign "Orleans". Another, a bit more expensive but possibly faster option is to take a train directly to [[Orleans]] from ''Paris-Austerlitz'' station. The ticket will cost you about 18 €. North of the town center an expressway passes - it joins the A10 and has a ''barrière de péage'' just before the junction. You'll need a sign saying "[[Tours]]" (if you go in direction of Tours, otherwise write "[[Bordeaux]]" or "[[Vierzon]]/[[Toulouse]]" if you need to take the A20 towards Toulouse).
