We walked from Paimpont to Merlin Tomb. We had to take the bus back to Rennes and the place was too far, so we waited at this crossroad and a men picked us up. He was very kind and available.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 9 km ↙

Cars going to Caen, Rennes, Nantes but quite fast because either they come out from a short underpass or they speed out of a roundabout. There is some space for them to stop, but since the ones coming out of the underpass would have to cross the other cars I find it a bit risky for them. I got taken by a hitchhiker after 30 minutes wait and hilding a sign to Rennes, because he said it's an unconvenient spot and he was going to Nantes.26, female.

Not a great spot. I was left there by the first car who took me from Rennes. Difficult to stop for the car even though there was at least some cars passing by. 10:30 am in middle of August.rating: 2/5, wait: 60 min 🪧, ride: 30 km ↑

I waited there 5min on thursday and friday evening (6pm), I had a sign for the toll station (Péage St Arnoult) and got a lift for Limours-Janvry gas station. From there you can get everywhere West easily (Bordeaux, Le Mans, Rennes, Nantes etc). Everyone leaving Paris for west is going through this road.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min 🪧, ride: 16 km ↙

Many people stopped even though there isn't much space to stop. Many are going to Rennes (I was going to Nantes). I took a ride to the exit at the east of vannes but it wasn't a good choice.rating: 4/5, wait: 10 min 👍, ride: 8 km ↘

Okay I waited a long time, but I was trying to avoid paris as much as possible to head to britanny. It was on a Sunday morning, 7h to 9h, very few cars. My plans was to head to the station on the A10. Many people going to Paris of course. After 2h20min I got a ride to rennes and further ! noiiiice. Overall I would say that it's a decent station to avoid Paris. MY ADVICE: know your way and don't hesitate to refuse rides. It might sound challenging but it can be definitely worth it, you don't want to be stuck in Paris area.rating: 4/5, wait: 250 min 💬, ride: 472 km ←

Came here many times. Always easy. Towards Nantes. Sometimes Rennes/Angers.Venu ici plusieurs fois. Très facile. Beaucoup de place et voitures lentes du fait du rond point.
Vers Nantes/Rennes/Angers.

-----2024----It's the first petrol station after Rennes and it's hard to get to, but it's worth it!
Taken in a few minutes towards Le Mans by a young couple, the toll booth a few km further on looks to be a good spot too ;)

-----2024----Very good spot to go to Nantes/Rennes/Vannes
All the people in the left-hand lane at the traffic lights are heading in that direction, just ask at the window. I found a 10-minute direct route to Vannes

-----2024----This is not a good place to head west, if you're heading towards Rennes, you'd better stop on the right of the town in the direction of Le Mans, if you're heading towards Angers, you can ask at the traffic lights if they can drop you off at the Jardins de Villandry service area 15km further on.
Taken in 30 min, then drive to Nantes

-----2024----Meilleur spot pour aller vers PARIS/LE MANS/RENNES
Accessible en bus, c'est le meilleur spot que j'ai trouvé pour aller vers Paris ou le grand Ouest.
Au feu, demandez aux voitures si elles peuvent vous déposer à l'aire de Parcay pour aller à paris ou vers le Mans pour aller à l'ouest
Fait des dizaines de fois pour rentrer en Bretagne et je suis pris en 10 min a chaque fois

-----2024----Best place to leave Paris heading west (NANTES,RENNES,ANGERS,LE MANS...)
At the roundabout, ask someone to take you to the Limours-Janvry service area (8min)
Alternative solution: we took an uber to the station (€12), from there it's extremely easy to get anywhere in 5 minutes.

-----2024----Ok spot to go to PARIS or RENNES
This spot is quite special because people who take the toll can go east or west, there is a carpool area next to it to ask directly if you are in trouble.
If you're going to Paris, it's best to persuade someone who opens their window at the toll to drop you off at the Aire de La Sarthe-Sargé Le Mans (10min motorway).

-----2024----The least worst place to get to PARIS/LE MANS
Getting to Paris from Rennes is a real challenge because there's no good place to hitchhike. I put up a "PEAGE LA GRAVELLE" sign and someone picked me up after 1 hour.
Position yourself on the roundabout before the exit to the ring road, there's plenty of room to stop.
Not very accessible by public transport, but still better than other roundabouts.

-----2024----An ideal location for getting to RENNES or Brittany
Position yourself just after the roundabout exit so that cars stop in front of LocEco.
Accessible by tramway 2 (Le Cardo stop)
I've waited dozens of times, and never for more than 15 minutes
Lots of hitchhikers, expect to meet friends :)

Verry good spot. It's the entry of the highway so cars may go a little fast but they have place to spot just after the bridge. We were going to Rennes, we found a ride to morlaix in less than 5 minutesrating: 5/5, wait: 10 min, ride: 59 km →

Going to Rennes on a Sunday. No traffic at all. We went back to an other spot, at the west of the city. I guess maybe this spot works better on week's days ?rating: 3/5
