Cars going to Caen, Rennes, Nantes but quite fast because either they come out from a short underpass or they speed out of a roundabout. There is some space for them to stop, but since the ones coming out of the underpass would have to cross the other cars I find it a bit risky for them. I got taken by a hitchhiker after 30 minutes wait and hilding a sign to Rennes, because he said it's an unconvenient spot and he was going to Nantes.26, female.

Good spot even though it is not a gas station. There is a little snack house so when I was left her around noon, there was a lot of cars. I asked the first guy i encounteredand he offered me a ride to Caen.

Stood with a sign for caen/rouen at the exit and it worked well! I tried walking around and asking but the place seemed to big and it was hard finding a central point to catch people. After 10 min with the sign i got a ride to the big gasstation after Caenrating: 5/5, wait: 25 min, ride: 84 km ↗

New favorite spot to leave Paris going to anywhere around Rouen, Caen, Mont Saint-Michel, Le Havre, etc... Red light just before the highway entrance with cars having to get passed Morainvilliers gas station on the highway. I tried twice and always got taken on the first try to the gas station. From here just follow gas stations on the highway on your path. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes usually making a stop at Bosgouet gas station right after Rouen to reach further in Normandie or even Saint Malo.Really easy to reach by foot, take the train to Poissy then bus 12 and walk.

Really empty after 7pm. People coming from South going to Falaise and Caen use the D958.―Anonymous, August 2019

not so bad place towards Caen, but some cars driving fast. If you are heading towards Le Mont Saint Michel you can try in the same roundabout but next exit, towards Pontarson, I did and worked good―Anonymous, March 2017

On of the roundabout with the more traffic in Caen, if you want to go to the motorway to Paris or Rouen, this is the best place.―Anonymous, June 2014
