== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Towards all directions ===
The three-, later two-lane road passing right in front of the train station (Gare SNCF) called ''Boulevard Louis Roederer'' leads directly onto A4 in both directions: Paris in the east, Metz/Strasbourg/Germany in the west. Heading down towards the motorway there is a traffic light switching very frequently, where ''Rue Bir Hakeim'' comes in from the lefthand side. Almost every car leaving Reims comes along here, so there is a very high density of cars passing by and stopping at the red light. You cannot directly ask people, but with a sign and a charming smile, there is a good chance of getting picked up - I got a ride to Paris in 15 minutes.
=== Going west ([[Paris]]) ===
The place is the highway ramp going on the {{Afr|4}} towards the west, at the exit number 22 called Tinqueux. First you will need to get to Tinqueux, a suburb of Reims. Best is to take bus no. 8 towards Thillois and get off at the stop called Millésime, the first stop after the bus passes above the highway. (For timetables and other ways to get there, you can check the website of [http://www.citura.fr/ Citura], the local public transport company.) From the stop it is about 600 m of walking. Start walking back to where the bus came from, out of the shopping zone on rue des Ormisseaux, back to the big road. You arrive to a huge roundabout. From here, turn right and follow the blue signs to A4, Paris until the next roundabout, from where the ramp goes on the highway. There is a lot of traffic and no pedestrian sideways, so be careful to cross the road and the roundabout. On the ramp, there is a nice spot to stop for the cars.
=== Going east ([[Metz]], [[Strasbourg]], [[Lyon]], [[Germany]]) ===
