Picked up to go to Clermont-Ferrand.

As a solo woman, a two hours waiting time is really bad. I made a mistake while reading the map and hitchhiked there to go to Clermont-Ferrand / Lyon. There were many cars going to Bordeaux but almost none was going North. I think it is not worth taking the motorway to go to Clermont-Ferrand when starting there. This is why the cars do not use the motorway there (too expensive) and why I waited so long. I was lucky to have old friends going in the direction of Paris on that day, otherwise I think I might have stayed 4 hours there. It might be a good spot for Bordeaux / Spain. Please comment if this works.

Amazing spot, nothing to complain about. I went to Clermont-Ferrand very fast

It is an average spot I would say. I waited 45mn here which is a quite long time for a solo woman. After a while, a man stopped and took me to a petrol station on the motorway. He confirmed that most cars are going to local places here. I had a big Clermont-Ferrand sign. Good luck !

Was hoping to get a ride to Bordeaux but ended up just trying to get a lift into Clermont-Ferrand to get a bus and hitch again from the other side. Was 38 degrees but still not much luck

Instantly got a ride to Clermont-Ferrand, but there weren’t only 6/7 cars and it felt like very good luck we found a car to take us.

Très bon spot pour Paris vu que tout le monde y va. Par contre je descendais direction Clermont-Ferrand/Lyon, quasiment personne n'allait à Tours. Mais j'ai quand même fini par trouver, pour Lyon !

Un soir de fin aout, seule (jeune femme). Pas beaucoup de passage, ni d'automobilistes allant dans ma direction, même en me postant vers la station service et dans la cafétéria. L'orage grondait, finalement, un couple avec deux enfants (mes sauveurs) ont pu m'amener jusqu'à Clermont-Ferrand, je me suis postée au bord de la bretelle de sortie. Ça reste je pense un très bon spot pour qui veut aller dir Bordeaux ou Lyon.

Good spot to Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand

Two young people (one woman one man) going north, trying to get a ride to Dijon or Strasbourg. After standing a while, we started asking people directly who stopped at the red light. Unfortunately, everybody was going either to Paris or Clermont-Ferrand. Ended up getting a ride to Lille instead.

Many cars stopped, but to Clermont-Ferrand, I waited around 45 minutes.

Un bon spot en sécurité pour aller en direction de Clermont-Ferrand, Lyon. En demandant directement sur l'aire de covoiturage nous avons trouvé une voiture en 20min

Lots of traffic to get to Clermont-Ferrand and Paris. Good location for cars to stop.

Pathetic place. Nobody's going in direction of Paris. Good place for going to Clermont-Ferrand. I stayed there for almost 4 hours, after I almost lost all hope a guy stopped to give me a ride to the next gas station where I caught a ride to Paris

HUGE high way service station. Hard to 'cover' all the cars you want to ask for a ride. A lot of going back and forth. The truck station is further way which is a bit bad so you can't easily go ask there. Sign said "Lyon/Clermont-Ferrand". Got a ride from a going going into Lyon. He let me out a little North of Lyon where I could go over the high way to Relais Bruyères Paisy and catch a ride to Clermont-Ferrant.

Towards Bordeaux. In August, with sign. Not a good spot I think. A lot of families that don’t take strangers, best to try clermont-ferrand. Good luck :)

Arrived from Villefranche-sur-Saône, i could continue to Clermont-Ferrand and north then. Just walk across the toll and stay at the parking entrance.

Good place to go north (Clermont-Ferrand) and South (Massiac, Montpelier), but really hard to go south-west. Took me approx. 90 min, till one lady took me to Aurillac.

Towards Clermont-Ferrand. Enough space to stop and there is the traffic light.

A lot of cars are going out at the next exit but I found in 15minutes a guy going in Clermont-Ferrand A89 so that was perfect for me ! (There is a door open for entering in this gas station by foot)
