===A1 Northeast towards [[Lille]], [[Belgium]]===
Take RER B to Stade de France and after walking a while you'll find a final traffic light where you can ask for the first gas-station on the motorway (around 2km , which is about 2 km away and NOT ''not'' accessible from outside of the motorway).
===A4 East, towards [[Metz]], [[Strasbourg]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Germany]]===
The first gas station is close to RER A station Bussy St. Georges. From there you walk south for about 1 km (you can ask at the counter) along a bigger road, which will lead you to a roundabout. You can try from there, but the gas station is just a bit more than 2 km from there. You can walk on the grass field next to the highway. The gas station is called "La Ferrière". An alternate route to reach the gas station is to walk through the industrial zone of Bussy, right south of the railway, then reach the bridge over the highway and then follow on the grass until the gas station that is quite near. This avoids walking in the grass (annoying especially in winter and when raining) and instead most of the walk will be on a road, and you will save some time. You can follow [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=gare,+bussy+saint+georges,+france&daddr=chemin+de+la+rue+pavee,+bussy+saint+georges,+france&sll=48.831899,2.723193&sspn=0.01291,0.040169&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=48.831814,2.726369&spn=0.01291,0.040169&t=h&om=0 this route] on Google Maps - the gas station can be seen right of the bridge on the south side of the map.
The [[péage]] is not far from there, though it might be further than the closest highway exit.
====Another Option:====
Take the RER Line A (Red) in direction Boissy St Legere until the station Nogent Sur Marne (~ 2€). There, leave the station in direction Rue "Joinville" and follow the sign to the A4. Its about 30 minutes by foot. If someone stops ask if they can take you at least to the next gas station, there is no toll (péage) to get there so it's likely you will get at least to there.
Another solution is to start hitching at Dourdan, take rue d'Etampes, and start at the roundabout. In Les-granges-du-roi take the D838 that will lead you to an entrance on the A10. Note, that it's a bit far for walking - around 10 km and the traffic is weak. Hitch there before the Péage with a sign "Orleans".
Another, a bit more expensive but possibly faster, is to take a train directly to [[Orleans]] from Paris-Austerlitz station. The ticket will cost you about 18 €. North of the center passes an expressway which joins the A10 and has a Péage just before the junction. You'll need a sign saying "[[Tours]]" (if you go direction Tours>, Bordeaux or "Vierzon/Toulouse" if you need to take the A20 towards [[Toulouse]]).
===A11 South-west to [[Le Mans]], [[Nantes]], [[Rennes]] and all parts of [[Brittany]]===
