It-Franciscout: IHMO (and experience), it's not longer workingalmost impossible to use this spot. I got there, they put a fence; and when you i tried to talk my way in, but the cops (didn't speak good english) said that "You're not going to get to the spotpeage"... {I walked and hh'ed a lot, there's until i got a ride to a gendarmerie (= cops)gas station, so but itwas significantly more difficult that the stated in the description, and also, I paid a more money (i's impossible to jump it without risk yourselfm not completly sure, but i think that the train was like 8/9 euros now, and the bus keeps in 2... at leastso, financially.something like 10/11 euros for a shitty spot)}

''This one is the most expensive, longest but takes you the furthest to a great pickup spot. Might be a good choice when you don't speak french. Maybe not so good at night.''
---It's not longer properly working, they got a new shiny fence; and when you get to the spot, there's a gendarmerie (= cops) building right behind it, so it's impossible to jump it without risk yourself... at least, financially.---
Take RER A4 to the last stop (''Marne-La-Vallee - Chessy''). The train journey length is around 40 minutes (EUR 6 something). Take the bus number 59 (doesn't operate on Sundays, the ticket costs around EUR 2) which leaves from the bus stop next to the RER train station at ''Eurodisney'','' Marne-La-Vallee'' ([http://www.metro-pole.net/hor/fiche/6759.17.html timetable 2010 here]). It takes ten minutes to arrive at the “Truffaut” gardening centre which is beside the péage (stop Coutevroult - Truffaut). From there, walk back a bit and go through what seems to be a police station's parking area and is called "voie de service" on the map - you will get to the green area right outside the péage - and you won't need to jump any of the fences! From this ''barrière de péage'' it is easy to get rides to [[Metz]] or even straight to [[Germany]]. You might meet people (gendarmes or motorway staff) in that "voie de service" - even if they try to talk you out of it, remember ''it is allowed'' to hitchhike ''in the car park'' by the péage.
The ''barrière de péage'' is located [http://maps.google.es/maps?f=d&saddr=48.854077,2.83959&daddr=&hl=es&geocode=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=17&sll=48.853788,2.839912&sspn=0.003586,0.009656&ie=UTF8&ll=48.850258,2.830095&spn=0.014346,0.038624&t=h&z=15 here].
