Lots of space and cars go slow.
3 cars stop in less than 5 minutes but all went to Nantes en Rattier and I wanted to La Valette. It was monday, day of market, maybe it's more difficult an other day.

Coming from Nantes, I asked the previous driver to let me on the gas station where I went asking people.

I just waited few minutes before I found a car going to Quimper.

It is forbidden to stay here (Cars only sign) but there is enough space to stop. Good to go to Nantes or further south.

We (20 y.o.) needed a ride to Nantes, waited on the side of the roundabout where cars can very easily stop securely.
We got lucky and waited no more than two minutes to get a direct ride nantes.

Great if you’re going to Bordeaux or Poitier but never stop here on your way to Nantes. Nobody stops here.

spot superbe pour quitter nantes direction niort/bordeaux. fonctionne hyper rapidement et les voitures peuvent s’arrêter facilement ! (parfois de la concurrence entre les autostoppeurs)

spot pas terrible pour aller à nantes, il n’y a pas de places pour que les voitures s’arrêtent malgré beaucoup beaucoup de passages. ne pas se mettre sur le petit embranchement vers nantes mais plutôt au rond point au dessus (plus de passages donc plus de chances d’arrêt même si plus dangereux - cela a fonctionné pour moi il faut être très vif et être prêt à courir)

je recommande pas forcément ce spot pour aller à nantes, la plupart retournent dans le centre de vannes. je pense qu’il peut fonctionner mais il faut être très chanceux-se !

Objectif : Vannes - Paris. Sur mon panneau j’ai mis Rennes, vous avez aussi le choix de passer par Nantes. Ce spot est pratique car les voitures peuvent s’arrêter directement après et c’est une voie rapide juste après en direction de Nantes et de Rennes, donc cela augmente vos chances.

Lots of car passing by but almost no place to stop and be seen ! I didn't test the other spots to go to Nantes from Vannes but it still seemed ok enough.

Lots of cars passing, not a lot of space to stop but that's ok. People here are great. I wanted to go to Nantes but I don't think it would have worked so I ended up in Vannes.

On hitchwiki it says it is an horrible place, but everything have been remade here, so now the ring roundabout is a nice place towards Nantes/Limoges

It is my place to leave Limoges, to Poitiers-Nantes, or could be just After the bridge also
There is space to park, but the spot is not a top tier one, still after you've left Limoges and Couzeix it will be easy

Here is the place to hitchhack towards Nantes if you come from Limoges at least.
The last entry before it separates Nantes/Angers
Take every ride in the direction of Nantes, because after you've left Poitiers, the road is straight to Nantes, with nice roudabouts to hitchhack (until Cholet)
