This motorway follows the route of the '''A6''' (see above) from Paris, and splits afterwards near [[Antony]]/[[Rungis]]. There's no petrol station between ''Porte d'Orleans'' and the A6xA10 junction except [http://maps.google.fr/?ie=UTF8&ll=48.739447,2.302011&spn=0.001638,0.003455&t=h&z=18 this one] (good enough one, according to some hitchhikers). An easy option is to stand at ''Porte d'Orleans'' (the same as for the A6 options) with a sign specifying that you go to [[Orléans]]. There is a ''[[barrière de péage]]'' in ''Saint Arnoult'', before the split between A10 and A11, so you can accept a ride going to Orléans or to [[Chartres]], for example. Make sure, though, the driver will leave you at least at the "péage de Saint Arnoult". French hitchhiker [[User:Pietshah|Pietshah]] did this route tons of times and had very little troubles.
Similarly You can also take the RER to ''Massy-Palaiseau''. From there you will be able to follow motoway signs for the A6 and A10. There are two options: take a bus from the massive lot beside station or walk down a motorway ramp nearby! I would advise the ramp option Motorway ramp optionGo down the ''Avenue Carnot'' along the ''Massy-Palaiseau'' railway towards the ''autoroute''. After a while there you will see a long stretch of a road with lots of space for cars. Keep going and you will reach a roundabout. If you keep following this road, you will reach a motorway exit underneath a bridge. It would be a good idea to use a sign with "Chartres" as this will make sure to get a ride at least to the first ''barrière de péage'' (30+ km) at St.Arnault. When already there, you might as well pull up the sign "SPAIN" - you might even get a truck straight to Portugal. Bus OptionThe 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'' From there take the bus 91.03 to 'Porte d'ItalieBriis-sous-Forges'' which .

To reach it you will need to find ''Porte Route d'OrleansInvilliers'' is , a good place small local road parallel to hitch fromthe highway. Additionally if Once you walk down 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''. You take the exit trin, RER C to ''Dourdan'' (ticket costs around 7€). Go to ''rue d'Etampes'' and start thumbing at a roundabout there at . 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 lights is weak.
