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.

With a sign MONTPELLIER, on the exit ramp.

best way to go to Montpellier

With a sign "MTP", sunset on a workday. I stood at the barriers between two lanes. No problem with security or police. Got a ride to a town a bit before Montpellier.

Good spot, a lot of cars, but everyone going in different directions (mostly just Montpellier), so you need a sign. Got picked to Lyon after about 40 minutes.

Good to get further but not far. Montpellier easy, Toulouse hard but not impossible

Friendly people, lots of cars. Used a sign and asked around to Montpellier, got easy a ride to Nimes.

Most of the cars are from Montpellier at the gas station so I moved here with a sign Nîmes.

Second time I do Hitchhiking in figueres, i think this is a better spot then the one 100 metres before, more space to car to see you and more space to car to stop. It was summer, a lot of french cars were passing, a guy bring me to montpellier.

Normal spot, just before the autoroute. Easy to stop there. I took the first car who was heading to the north. If i remember well, the problem here is that there is 2 directions (South like Montpellier or Marseille and North like Lyon).

Tried to get a ride to Montpellier but couldn't get any. People were going to Nimes mostly. Also people told us it is the wrong side to ask for rides to Montpellier.

Tried to get a ride to Montpellier but couldn't get any. Only one person stopped but was going to Nimes, so it didn't really help.

Great petrol station with supermarket! We wanted to get to the beach south of Montpellier and got a ride after 15 minutes. We only talked to two people who were directly willing to take us. Decided for the ones who could drop us off at the beach! Great spot!

We were walking around the gas station and asking people with a sign to Montpellier, suddenly a guy came to us and said he's going to Andorra. We were trying to get to Barcelona, so we were very lucky!

Finally got to montpellier, the spot is good enough but not too much space for cars to stop. Very happy for reaching Montpellier before night

Trying to go to Montpellier woth only small roads, don't recommend it too much, people go to little villages not far, we got help to advance anyways, and the spot is ok
