We wete two persons and after we missed the bus we hitchhiked to Perols to take the tram from there to move to Montpellier. A friendly woman picked us up and we got the shield from the italian restaurant.

Easy to reach Montpellier from there. You can also cross the highway via a bridge safely. I did it because i came from the other direction and missed the exit to Montpellier aha

A bit harder this time, i waited an hour (average to leave a big city in my opinion) with a sign "Montpellier, Salon". Got a small ride to Aire de Vitrolle (15min away).
I recommend to know exactly your directions since there isn't proper spaces for cars to stop here.

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

A lot of traffic going around, but mainly locals, so we (2) made a sign Nîmes, to continue from town to town. There we continued through Montpellier and Perpignan.

Good spot to stop someone who goes to Arles or maybe further. With a sign Arles it was easy. There we continued through Nimes, Montpellier and Perpignan.

Direct way to Arles, but on national road, not highway. Young guy took us to nearest town, where we continued through Arles, Nimes, Montpellier and Perpignan.

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.

Hard spot to go north direction Valence/Lyon. Should be quite easy to go to Nimes or direction Marsaille. I couldn't manage for my life to get anyone who was going past Nimes in my direction. Christmas days, lots of full cars and pouring rain. I gave up and got a ride into the city of Montpellier (which was easy).

I'm sure in normal circumstances it's a good place. Lots of international cars alrady. In my case, most were full because of the dates (christmas) and it was pouring rain, so it took me a while to get a ride, in the end with an italian truck driver that took me to Montpellier.

ok spot, direction Lyon, fortunately after some hours a czech (same as us) with a tow truck took us all the way to Montpellier with a night stop under Lyon for sleep, we met another group of hitchhikers, but we were already full. we had a beer that evening, continued next morning, good guy (shoutout to Petr from morava, but you should have been little more talkative)

Lots of local traffic but it is quite possible to find a car to the A7 (Aire de Portes les Valence, south of Valence). But I already found a car to Montpellier or even Toulouse.

I often use this spot, I wait between the lanes at the toll, which is forbidden but that's really far more efficient than waiting before the parking lot. Anyway, no workers at this entrance so they won't say anything. Just once (among the 30 times i hitchhiked) the police passed by and "asked" me to move. I usually do not use a sign because there are several options (gas stations) to stop between here and Montpellier or Narbonne/Perpignan/Toulouse.

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.

Bon spot pour aller à Montpellier, il y a de la place pour se garer et tout le monde vous voie car il y a un rond point avant les gens roulent pas vite.

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.
