très bon spot pour aller à caen/le mans, se placer bien avant le rond point (que les voitures puissent s’arrêter sur la droite). je recommande de fsire de grand geste de loin pour être vu et avoir une grande pancarte est 100% recommandé ici(ps: le spot est accessible avec le bus t4 depuis le centre)

Best spot to go to Angers from Cholet. People have space to stop and all so it's good. The only problem is that you will most likely arrive at the center of the city but it's not too bad to access other spots from there (at least the one going to Le Mans is really easy to go).rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min 🪧, ride: 61 km ↗

I waited there 5min on thursday and friday evening (6pm), I had a sign for the toll station (Péage St Arnoult) and got a lift for Limours-Janvry gas station. From there you can get everywhere West easily (Bordeaux, Le Mans, Rennes, Nantes etc). Everyone leaving Paris for west is going through this road.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min 🪧, ride: 16 km ↙

-----2024----It's the first petrol station after Rennes and it's hard to get to, but it's worth it!
Taken in a few minutes towards Le Mans by a young couple, the toll booth a few km further on looks to be a good spot too ;)

-----2024----This is not a good place to head west, if you're heading towards Rennes, you'd better stop on the right of the town in the direction of Le Mans, if you're heading towards Angers, you can ask at the traffic lights if they can drop you off at the Jardins de Villandry service area 15km further on.
Taken in 30 min, then drive to Nantes

-----2024----Meilleur spot pour aller vers PARIS/LE MANS/RENNES
Accessible en bus, c'est le meilleur spot que j'ai trouvé pour aller vers Paris ou le grand Ouest.
Au feu, demandez aux voitures si elles peuvent vous déposer à l'aire de Parcay pour aller à paris ou vers le Mans pour aller à l'ouest
Fait des dizaines de fois pour rentrer en Bretagne et je suis pris en 10 min a chaque fois
Info : Je suis un jeune homme de 23 ans.

-----2024----Best place to leave Paris heading west (NANTES,RENNES,ANGERS,LE MANS...)
At the roundabout, ask someone to take you to the Limours-Janvry service area (8min)
Alternative solution: we took an uber to the station (€12), from there it's extremely easy to get anywhere in 5 minutes.

-----2024----Ok spot to go to PARIS or RENNES
This spot is quite special because people who take the toll can go east or west, there is a carpool area next to it to ask directly if you are in trouble.
If you're going to Paris, it's best to persuade someone who opens their window at the toll to drop you off at the Aire de La Sarthe-Sargé Le Mans (10min motorway).

-----2024----The least worst place to get to PARIS/LE MANS
Getting to Paris from Rennes is a real challenge because there's no good place to hitchhike. I put up a "PEAGE LA GRAVELLE" sign and someone picked me up after 1 hour.
Position yourself on the roundabout before the exit to the ring road, there's plenty of room to stop.
Not very accessible by public transport, but still better than other roundabouts.

Also a good spot to go direction laval/Le Mans/Paris, easy to access. I wait at the light. People from south Bretagne must drive threw here to go to Paris. I've never waited more than 20min for a ride to the A81.rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min

Coming from Lorient, going to Paris. I was droped off there by another driver. I waited directly close to the road toll (peage) behind the safety barrier. If you wanna go to Paris, I think it's better if you can convince someone to take you to the gas station at the Aire de La Sarthe-Sargé Le Mans which is a bit more far still at Le Mans but directly on the A11 to go to Paris.―Lois, February 2017

Coming from Lorient, going to Paris. The previous driver droped me off in this spot and I was afraid to stay stuck there because the cars and trucks are going quite fast on this roundabout and the space is not so good for the drivers to stop safely if there is many cars behind. But finally someone stopped after 10min to bring me to Le Mans.―Lois, February 2017

On my way to Paris. I found in 5min different people who were going to Rennes, but I decided to wait a bit more because the entrance of Rennes is not a good spot to continue to Paris. And 5 min after someone proposed to drop me on the other side of Rennes before the highway heading to Le Mans and then Paris. So excellent spot where you can stay dry in case of bad weather :)―Lois, February 2017

Take the subway to La Poterie, then go straight, pass the bridge and stand at the traffic circle to Le Mans.―Anonymous, February 2015
