Très bon spot pour Paris vu que tout le monde y va. Par contre je descendais direction Clermont-Ferrand/Lyon, quasiment personne n'allait à Tours. Mais j'ai quand même fini par trouver, pour Lyon !

Mixed feelings about this spot. It's a service area/gas station/restaurant and onramp combination but you can't cover both. Minimal traffic and most people ignored me (not even talking to me) and busses/tours/minivans won't take you. Also most people just head to the closeby scenic areas. I ended up standing little further on the onramp and a lovely truck driver took me all the way to Kunming. It's a hilly ride, pretty views and great road to hh. Be aware: (Car) Traffic further west is suuuuper light. At some points almost zero. Maybe the newer highway is better (more cars, even less trucks) if you can't find a ride all the ways. Trucks use this highway tho but can be super slow. Good luck!

It's not on this map but it's a service area/restaurant/gas station. Lot's of traffic but mostly tours (busses or minivans) which take tourists around. I did not have luck hh them. A nice family took me for a few kilometers. As usual: Asking around works the best

Good spot for going defection Paris!! We had a dog and Two big backpacks. And a older couple took us almost to Tours Ask people and write a sign. Have a big smile and be friendly!

We wanted to go to Paris and was taken to Tours in a Truck.

Waited 3 hours total, half there and the other half at the next roundabout before the highway, trying to go to Tours. Only when i got rid of my sign, 3 people stopped but were not going in my direction. The spot itself is good i guess it was just not my lucky day

Bon spot pour aller vers Le Mans / Paris / Tours Accessible en bus depuis le centre ville d’Angers (arrêt parc des expos)

Good spot to reach Poitiers, Tours, Orleans

Crowded area, most people are heading toward Nantes, less go to Angers, few to Tours. We wanted to go to Tours. We settled for Angers after waiting for 5 min. Aire fréquentée, la plupart des gens vont à Nantes, un peu vers Angers, moins vers Tours. Direction Angers pour nous en 5 min.

Lots of place for a car to pull up. Judging from my previous experience and knowledge now my short wait was just luck. Abdul, a desert camp owner from Merzouga. He was registered to take tourists. We still got pulled over and asked for registrations three times adding an hour to our drive. Managed to just get my lift before sun set and Abdul let me stay at his desert camp. Book with Morocco Tours Now!!

[Young male solo-traveller] Not a really good spot to head towards Tours but still feasible. I advise you to have a sign to show your direction as this spot goes to 2 different directions. I also advise you to be close to the toll so you can easily see and talk to the drivers.

[Young male solo-traveller] Good spot to get to Saumur/Tours Good place for cars to stop before the toll (Right lane)

[Young male solo-traveller] This is definitively not a good spot to go to Le Mans/Tours because few cars taking the highway at this intersection. However, not a lot of other options. Still feasible

Probably easy for Paris, but I wanted to go to Tours. At least the staff had left the gate of their parking unlocked so it was easy to escape by foot.

Very lucky. I wanted to go Tours and I find someone in 15seconds (first car)

Awful ! With the destinations of Bourges and Tours, I waited more than 2 hours the 10th of august...

We wre trying to get to koman lake ferry and were taken by a tour bus ehich was very suprising. But they took as all the way. Not much place to stop but no one cares because the traffic is low and kinda only in one direction in the morning. Everyone is going to the ferry. But mostly its tours and stuff. Not many cars. So if it can be hard to get picked up because tours dont pick up you often.

Not a lot of space to park but got the ride fast. 2 guys with a Tours sign

2 guys with a Tours sign. Ended getting the ride in the back compartiment of a small truck

The roads in this area was recently completely changed. This roundabout was really good for us to go towards A10 (Orléans, Chartres, Nantes, Bordeaux, Toulouse,...). 80% of cars were going to Evry, you don't want them, you need to reach the gas station Limours-Janvry on the A10 but there's usually some people going there (it's a 10 min ride) from the gas station just go and talk to people to reach further. I always go there to leave Paris. It's around 1h15 by public transport from Paris center but you're guaranteed to start the trip easily after. We got lucky this time and found someone directly to Tours
