Very bad spot, dropped here at the "aire de covoiturage" by a car, we wanted to go to Paris, but didn't got any ride (we had to walk to the next village asking cars to drop us somewhere else)
All the cars that we saw were exiting the highway, or going to the villages around.
We should've ask the previous car to drop us at the highway gas station "Limoges Est" (aire d'autoroute/station service).

Très mauvais spot, on a été déposées à l'aire de covoiturage par une voiture, pendant qu'on allait vers Paris (on a dû marcher jusqu'à Razès en demandant à des voitures de nous déposer ailleurs)
Toutes les voitures qui passent ici soit sortent de l'autoroute donc n'y rerentrent pas, soit vont d'un village à l'autre.
On aurait dû demander à la voiture précédente de nous laisser à l'aire d'autoroute Limoges Est.

We couldn't get a ride here, maybe we're not used to hitchhike from traffic lights but nearly all the cars here are doing short distance rides to Limoges or around, and we wanted to go to Paris taking the highway.
We had to walk to take a bus to the north of Limoges closer to the highway.

On a pas réussi à être prises ici, peut-être parce qu'on était pas habituées à faire du stop depuis un feu rouge, mais presque toutes les voitures qui passaient par là ne vont pas vers Paris (notre destination) ou faire de grands trajets sur l'autoroute, la majorité allait dans Limoges même ou aux alentours.
On a fini par marché pour prendre un bus vers un autre spot au nord de Limoges plus proche de l'autoroute pour avoir des voitures qui y vont directement.

We litteraly waited 2 seconds showing our "Limoges" sign before a car that was going there just parked at the entrance of the Bakery Marie Blachère (we were two white people, one female one male).
We were on the grass in front of the bakery (great deals to have a lunch break or just baguette ;))
We definitely were very lucky, but a lot of cars use this road so you shouldn't wait so long :)

On a littéralement attendu 2 secondes après avoir montré notre pancarte "Limoges" avant qu'une voiture qui allait là-bas s'arrête à l'entrée du parking de la boulangerie pour nous prendre. (En étant 2 personnes blanches, passing meuf et gars)
On était sur la pelouse en face de la boulangerie (qui a de bonnes offres pour une petite pause viennoiseries ou juste une baguette ;))
On a vraiment eu de la chance cette fois, mais beaucoup de voitures passent par là donc vous devriez pas attendre trop longtemps :)

Good spot towards Limoges, the Poitiers - Limoges road works well with a lot of roundabout with space to park

rating: 5/5

For me here is the spot to enter the free A20 to Paris (i come from east of Limoges)
You have to stand on the opposite side of the road so it's a bit strange but there is a lot of place, it is also near thé burger king where BlaBlaCar stops

On hitchwiki it says it is an horrible place, but everything have been remade here, so now the ring roundabout is a nice place towards Nantes/Limoges

From here you go to Aubusson, then Limoges, Guéret or plateau de millevache
People are friendly with hitchhackers in Limousin so you should find a ride

Really near from Limoges city center, you will go to Feytiat (super U roundabout) minimum, of further on the way to Eymoutiers.
For me it is the best place to go to the plateau de millevache and Vassivière lake even if it is also possible by Panazol-stLéo-Bourganeuf

It is my place to leave Limoges, to Poitiers-Nantes, or could be just After the bridge also
There is space to park, but the spot is not a top tier one, still after you've left Limoges and Couzeix it will be easy

Best place from Poitiers to Limoges, it really is an easy ride to go little by little to Limoges, after this place the road is straight, with roundabouts and always a lot a space to park

Here is the place to hitchhack towards Nantes if you come from Limoges at least.
The last entry before it separates Nantes/Angers
Take every ride in the direction of Nantes, because after you've left Poitiers, the road is straight to Nantes, with nice roudabouts to hitchhack (until Cholet)

From here on you're trip from Nantes to Poitiers really start, it finally become easy, every roudabout until Poitiers and even Limoges, is a nice place to hitchhack, i tried most of them.
Here there is a lot of space, the direction is clear, you may go to Parthenay, no need for a sign at all

A lot of space to park, the problem is there is no good spot to go to Poitiers in Nantes.
From here you will certainly arrive (i did it a lot of times) in la Haye Fouassiere or Vallet, at the entry of the national road, witch are better spots than here but still it is not really good.
If you are lucky you may arrive in Cholet, but sorry, Cholet is the worst city to hitchhack, i now few people who've got their worst record of time waiting there (me too before it was beaten in Portugal)
After Bressuire everything will go easy to Poitiers-Limoges, from now i take a BlaBlaCar to Bressuire everytime (Cholet is a trauma 😂)
