très bon spot pour rejoindre l’autoroute direction rouen (a l’ombre et les voitures roulent lentement). venir aux heures de pointe (matin 9h ou 12-13h) pour avoir le plus de voiture possible (fonctionne quand même mais plus long).rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min, ride: 131 km ↙

Nobody's going to CaenThere are a lot of cars and a lot of place to park but the people driving are unfriendly, i waited 2 hours, people don't say hello and don't smile, there are more chances that they make you a fuck 🖕, you should never go to Rouen it's one of the worst place to hitchhack in France

Stood with a sign for caen/rouen at the exit and it worked well! I tried walking around and asking but the place seemed to big and it was hard finding a central point to catch people. After 10 min with the sign i got a ride to the big gasstation after Caenrating: 5/5, wait: 25 min, ride: 84 km ↗

New favorite spot to leave Paris going to anywhere around Rouen, Caen, Mont Saint-Michel, Le Havre, etc... Red light just before the highway entrance with cars having to get passed Morainvilliers gas station on the highway. I tried twice and always got taken on the first try to the gas station. From here just follow gas stations on the highway on your path. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes usually making a stop at Bosgouet gas station right after Rouen to reach further in Normandie or even Saint Malo.Really easy to reach by foot, take the train to Poissy then bus 12 and walk.

waited one hour a bit behind the petrol station with a sign saying "France". After warming up for 5 minutes in the station I was able to get somebody to take me up to Rouen! was great―Anonymous, November 2017

We were a couple trying to go to Normandy on a Saturday afternoon. A hitchhiker was there already and probably got a lift, didn't work for us though, we gave up after something like 2 hours. However at some point we were offered a lift to "Les Mureaux" which is actually good because it's after the 1st gas station. Not so easy for cars to stop (only one stopped). Maybe better to have a sign with A13 or gas station symbol than Rouen or Normandy.―Edithv, March 2016

J'ai d'abord essayé sous le pont, pendant 10 minutes, mais les voitures n'ont pas le temps et le climat sonore est franchement désagréable! J'ai bougé de 20 metres et au bout d'a peine 5 minutes des francais qui allaient a Rouen se sont arretés et m'ont déposé sur la route de Paris. C'était un lundi à midi.―Tishead78, March 2015

advice to all who take this route to go to Calais/London, it took me about 4 hours to find a ride to Gatswick, most people passing through here go to paris or Rouen―Anonymous, March 2015

I often hitchiked to Paris/Rouen from this point. For the adventurous there is a train going to Phalempin (10min?) then you can walk to the petrol station (small road), it is a bit long but worth it (avoiding waiting a lifts from Lille)―Dylg, November 2014

I often hitchhike from there to Paris, pretty easy. Also good for going west (Rouen, etc.)―Edithv, August 2014

On of the roundabout with the more traffic in Caen, if you want to go to the motorway to Paris or Rouen, this is the best place.―Anonymous, June 2014

I was standing with sign 'Rouen'. It is terrible idea to hitch-hike from here to West. It is better to be dropped at the nearest toll station or service station. One worker of the port picked me up and droped out on the toll station where I had no problem with finding truck driver who was going west to rouen.I was standing at this post with hitch-hiker couple from UK. They were going to Belgium and they found a lift within 20 minutes.
