Good place, next to parking, cars going slow and have space to stop. Lot of cars going to Marseille direction or Montpellier. One guy took us (2) from here to toll behind Montpellier, which wasn’t the best idea, because of legality and cars start going there faster. So we jumped the fence and found another place where it was much more safer and comfy. Try to stay on highway if you go long distances and petrol stations as well. Had a sign Montpellier

Pretty fine place, lot of traffic. Two guys took us a bit further to the end of Marseille, where we continued through Arles, Nimes, Montpellier and Perpignan. Had a sign Arles.

Not much traffic, but a random guy asked us if we’re going to Marseille and took us there. We also had a sign “Mars” but here you can stop anyone anyway.

Nice spot, lot of traffic, helpful people. A guy from Monaco took us really quickly to another gas station before Aix-en-Provence, close to Marseille.

Not so busy, we tried to ask people for Nice / Marseille direction. A Swiss older couple on Tesla took us before Nice, above Monaco. From there it was easier because we were finally in France. Good luck.

Smaller traffic but still good. A guy took us to gas station in highway Bordighera. Direction to France - Marseille. People here are really kind.

Not so frequent gas station in the morning and small, but we asked a guy who took us to another gas station on highway above Andora village in the direction to France - Marseille.

Not easy to get out of Marseille, but it’s okay. Most cars are heading for Aix.
Difficile de sortir de Marseille mais faisable. La plupart des voitures vont à Aix.

At 18pm in full darkness, I refuse 3 ride to Marseille in 30" before finding one to nime. I almost never use sign but here it's very relevant. And the gastation is uge and super clean so I couldn't find cardboard.

Lots of cars, especially in summer. Can go to Marseille, Aix en Provence, Nice and also towards Lyon. The number of people can make it a bit long to find the good car asking around. I usually just wait at the exit of the shop.

Use this spot to leave the royans very often to go to the South (Montpellier, Marseille). It's quite easy to find someone who can drop you on the A7, at least at the Aire de Portes les Valence, juste afeter Valence towards the South, and then it's easy.

5 minutes to Marseille. I walked to be by the toll. It's quite a big one, i would recommend going inbetween the lanes depending on where you are heading

Best place to leave Marseille. I used it two times. This time, i got a ride straight to Montpellier within 5 minutes, the car was going to Barcelona. I use a sign "MONTPELLIER, Fos/Salon". In Salon there is a massive toll on the highway where you can have better luck. The other way through Fos is a smaller road where you can hitchike from roundabout.

Every time I've been to this station, it has been hard to get on the A9. This last time was not an exception. First I tried on the roundabout at the exit, then asked at the shop, which finally worked. From what they told me, people mostly go to Marseille, Aix and Nice.

I normally avoid Peages, but I didnt have an other choice. I got picked up by a Bus driver who brought me 2 Hours in the direction of Lyon. He drove to Marseille, so I could have went Germany-Marseille in one day so great spot, maybe it was just luck.

Got a ride by French-Moldavian couple very fast. First to Chamonix, but then they invited me to stay for a night at their place in Annemasse as it was already dark and my destination was Marseille. It was perfectly on my way and I couldn't resist the offer. What a hospitality!

Just next to the barrier is very good spot to go south. I was holding sign Marseille and after an hour got a direct ride there. The station is very good - you can refill you water, use toilets for free and buy relatively not expensive coffee. During Sunday all traks are resting, however on working day it is worth to ask truckdrivers for a ride.
