Loooots of traffic. Cars have to slow down because of the toll gate. Be carefull to not stand in front of the gates, a lady told us two girls died there last time. They see you well but it can be hard for the drives to see your sign since the road is so wide. People interact when they see you. Some stop a lot of local traffic, we were heading for Paris. Got a ride with a really nice truck driver all the way to Metz.rating: 4/5, wait: 60 min 🪧, ride: 332 km ←

Many people heading for Metz, we got a lift to Troyes after around 30 minutes. Lots of English people heading south east for skiing holidays but often don't have room due to equipment!rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min 💬+🪧, ride: 125 km ↓

Used this spot alone before without problems, often got rides to Reims easily and quickly.Tried it again with a friend recently and we were stuck there for 2 hours, as no one seemed to be going east. Lot of locals cars. Guess we were just out of luck that day. Ended up finding a ride to Metz after a little more than a 2h wait.
The way to get there is long, crossing the grown corn maze was not the easiest but still doable.

Well, we wanted to go to france from trier so we decided to go to berchem by train and start our journey here since the reviews and everything looked great. And it is a great stop. BUT what surprised us - the bridge across the autobahn got demolished but is still shown on google maps. We discovered this when we got there (lol) and luckily they already built another one in sight, but we still had to walk about an hour more than planned. When we got to the station we had to cross/ get through 3 fences. That was not so hard since two of these were construction site fences, aka not permanent and relatively easy to get through. The next one was already torn down. But the last fence we had to climb over to finally get to the station. We picked the spot where the trucks are parking at the end of the station, i would say it is the best option to get to berchem. I dont know why they built these fences but you have to be physically fit to enter berchem from the outside. Getting there by car is no problem. Once we where there it was around 12:00, we found a lovely couple in around 30 minutes that took us to metz. We were two people and we had a sign.Final conlusion: it is a great spot but you have to overcome some challenges to get there :)

Worked very fast for me in direction Dijon. If you are on the highway coming from Troyes and everybody is going in the direction of Metz you can ask somebody to drop you here, as more people will be going southrating: 5/5, wait: 2 min, ride: 119 km ↘

Not much passage on a july tuesday at 13h30, mostly cars with kids, but as recommended we started (slightly shyly) asking the few people who were getting back into their cars and got a ride from two sisters going to Metz quite quickly, just gad to put our big backpacks on our legs. One of us is quite used to speaking in Frenchrating: 4/5, wait: 15 min, ride: 195 km →

This is I think the best spot for Metz/Nancy/Paris that you can reach by foot from the city center. A lot of space to stop and cars don't go too fast but there is a lot of local traffic too... You can ask to be dropped at the gas station (Aire de Brumath) or at the toll booth which is further.I was probably unlucky and had to wait almost 2 hours before a car took me but it can be much quicker I think.

The place is good. We were standing beneath the bridge for a shade, the cars were slow and there was a place to stop. But it depends where you are going. We wanted to go to south (Troyes), and waited 2 hours without any result. Meanwhile there were 3 cars which stopped and all of them were going to either Strasbourg or Metz, so if you wanna go eastwards, it is really good spot.―Anonymous, August 2016

The next Service Station to the North is in about 20 Kilometers right before Pont-a-Mousson (so in case the driver goes to Pont-a-Mousson he could drop you at this station).There it is very easy to find cars to Metz/ Netherlands/ Luxenburg. some cars also go to the North of Germany but it is very difficult to find cars in the direction Saarbrücken.
