J'ai attendu 2h sans que personne ne me prenne avec un panneau la Rochelle, j'ai peut-être juste pas eu de chance cette fois là :/ pourtant il y a une belle zone d'arrêt et les voitures ne peuvent aller qu'au nord ou au sud

rating: 1/5, wait: 120 min 🪧

Reachable by bus from La Rochelle. A truck driver was waiting here, he took me directly to Saintes.

I've taken this spot two times, with around 10 minutes wait each time. It is my best spot to leave La Rochelle. Quite difficult to access however.

There are two streets departing to go south, one is route nationale and the other highway. for me it was either fine so I stood in between. not a really good area to stop but i got a lift in less than 10 minutes to La Rochelle

We were asking for Bordeaux, but got till the exit for La rochelle. It definitely is a short haul spot. Waited for around 1 hour.

Few cars on this motorway. Petrol stations are very quiet. I was hitching to Nantes, most cars going to La Rochelle. Finally i got a direct car, but i waited 45mn.

The one and only place to be when you want to go to Rochefort or La Rochelle.
The road goes straight there, just after the roundabout there is big stopping place for cars, you're a bit downhill so cars can so you from far away.

Good spot if you wanna go to the south (direction La rochelle). Don't stay here if you plan to go to north!

We tried to hitchhike before the entrance of the highway (close to the roundabout),but we wasted a lot of time. Then, we decided to go to the national road. and we got a lift after 5 minutes. Better here if you wanna go the the nord (La Rochelle for exemple...). You'll need more time, but it's easier than highway!

Direction : Angers in the north or La Rochelle/Niort/ La Roche s/ Yon in the south.

The spot is a toll. I got a ride to Angers in 15 min even if the traffic was quite slow (in the beginning of the afternoon in week).
If it does not work for Angers, you can try on the national road just next to the toll.

Good place to go the South : Niort, La rochelle, Poitiers...
Average to go to Brittany.
Difficult to reach.
