Perfect to go South to Nîmes, Montpellier with A9 or to go to Marseille or Aix en provence with A7 and A8

Left side is mainly Marseille and Aix

Got dropped off here while going towards Nice from Lyon.Saw and talked to a fellow female hitch hiker who often does Lyon Nice, a lot of cars that pass by since it’s a huge stop with a Burger King and several other restaurants and shops, did seem like a lot of people were going more towards Marseille than towards Nice, people are friendly.Know how to speak French helps a lot and having a sign is better

Good spot got picked up pretty quickly with a sign “Marseille/a7” it’s a bit difficult to access from Lyon

Single male, no French. Plenty of cars, mostly heading Marseille I believe. But I spent the night here in this Aire, I set up a tent but it was a little terrifying ngl. After 1 am, car thiefs started robbing the place, or it was an alarm triggered automatically to scare of thieves but surely it was an dangerous place to sleep. If you ever need to sleep here, there is a partially hidden and safe spot surrounded by trees and have two big poles, next to the benches when you pass the basketball court. It is also a home to bunch of cats. I set my tent there but still didnt sleep until 4 am just to be sure. Also keep it in mind that thieves come by with a car and get away with a car, so anywhere away from the roads are more safe.

Single mail, no French. Waited around 3 hours with a sign and a thumb, tried every possibility. First tried the roundabout, it was no good. Then I tried the spot I tagged, and got a ride in 20 mins. It was Cyann, heading to Marseille, he dropped me in an Aire before Marseille

If you're going to Marseille great spot, to go east is much harder, in the end I accepted a ride on the way to Aix

Bad spot, not a lot of place to stop and mostly locals, in the end I got a ride to the first gas station on the highway but it was kinda the same :/ I had a sign with Cannes but people were laughing at it because it was too far so I put AUTOROUTE on the other side. My advice is that if you can afford leave Marseille with another mean.

Got a ride to Marseille easily. Two cars stopped at the same time. Enough space for cars to stop. 1 female & 1 male

Waited here for twenty mintes until a kind family took me to a gasstation close to Marseille. I think it’s a great spot to go to Marseille, though I wasn’t planning on going into Marseille.

Waited here for about 20 minutes before two kind people took me in the direction of Marseille. Good visibility and enough space for cars to stop. There is a roundabout after the spot though, so not everyone is going on the highway in the direction of Marseille.

We got here by a tram. It was a local recommendation. It was a Saturday around 11 am before holidays. We asked few people. Many people go to the city but some of them go on a5 highway. We had luck and we got a 7 hour ride almost in Marseille.

such a pretty rest area, almost didn't want to leave lol
i'd say ~50% go in the direction marseille, 40% in the direction nimes, montpellier and 10% some places inbetween the upcoming highway-split
found a ride in the morning to montpellier quite quickly
also true: great spots to camp and spend the night
not true anymore: dumpster accessability

Waited some unexpectedly long time for a hitchhike towards Marseille, but it all worked out well.

Many many many cars towards Cannes and Marseille.
But very tricky to get there DO NOT CLIMB FROM THE EASTERN SIDE.
There is an open gate for service vehicles on the western side. Got there from Allianz Riviera by going to the gas station north of there, crossed the roundabout towards the river and walked until the toll booth.
