good spot. I waited shortly in front of the paying machines on the right side of the street. After about 50 minutes I got a ride to Montpellier. This spot is good to reach. No problem to walk there.

Got offered a ride to Béziers quite fast. Took it until a big rest station south of Montpellier, Fabrègues Nord, on our way to Barcelona. Lots of traffic and space to stop. Big Sign recommend, as of December '24 there is lots of Cardboard pieces at or behind the parking lot across the street.

Beaucoup de monde va en direction d'Aix, donc c'est compliqué quand on part vers Montpellier. L'idée c'est de viser au moins jusqu'à l'aire d'autoroute de Lançon pour partir en direction de Montpellier. J'ai été prise au bout d'une heure, et j'ai pu embarquer deux autres autostoppeurs avec moi, qui s'étaient placés au même spot.

Very good spot. I always leave Montpellier from there. You can go to the west (Béziers, Narbonne, Toulouse, Perpignan...) or the east and north (Nîmes, Marseilles, Lyon ...)This time I had a sign "Toulouse" and got a ride directly to Frouzins (south west of Toulouse). A guy solo with just one place. This day I hitchiked with a French girl going from Marseilles to Toulouse. We had to separate since the guy had just one place. If you read this message, I hope you got a lift and could manage to reach Toulouse on time ;)

Very good spot. Not that easy to reach, I had to walk across the nearby corn field. With a "Montpellier" sign I found a truck driver who took me to Narbonne toll station

Really good spot. Some people were going to Montpellier / Nîmes but we were going to Aix en Provence, so we had to say no. Then a guy going to Marseille took us to Aire de Lançon en P.
Btw, police went to us to tell us that it would be better to hitchhike on the parking, but we came back when they left as it was clearly the best place to hitchhike.

Great spot to go to Aire de Lançon de Provence. I then found quickly a car that took me to Montpellier.

Amazing spot for us ! We asked for Montpellier and the driver took us to Marseille ! We were very lucky here.
There is space to stop easily and the drivers can't miss you

I was coming from Montpellier to Lyon and had the choice to be dropped here or at the big peage a few km towards Lyon. My destination was Germany.
After 15min a german couple took me in their camper van! Maybe I was lucky but from what I see there are enough cars, toilets, possibilities for food so I would prefer this over the peage anytime again! You can ask german cars (or swiss etc) depending on your needs.

Great spot actually!
You can go just before the peage, there are 2 lanes to Montpeillier/Toulouse and two to Barcelona/Girona.
Your allowed to stand right before peage but not after. Cars go slow.
I was picked up to Montpellier after 20min on a tuesday morning.

Very good spot. The cars slow down because of the round about and the upcoming toll.
Most cars are going to the direction of Lyon, but eventually i got one to montpellier

Took a while, would recommend standing further up the road (away from the toll) so drivers can actually see you as lots of people signalling as if they didn’t have time to stop. Got a lift to Montpellier eventually

I got lifted there and arrived at 1 AM. It's easy to find a spot to have some rest. I originally planned to go to Montpellier and from there Marseille, but got to Marseille instantly. Normally it has high traffic, but at night I couldn't even expect anyone to bring me to Montpellier

I originally planned to go to Marseille, so I ended up rewriting my destination to Montpellier and after 20-30 minutes (11 PM) a couple lifted me. The spot is good, but don't be as stupid as me and plan with a small detour for longer distamces

So we where headed to Montpellier (through Vitrolles) and we found out that is not the right spot for this direction. Unless you are very lucky. This guy took us and told that there was another roundabout at the opposite direction better for Montpellier. A lot of people go to Marseille from there tho.
