Lot of people there, but it took me about 50 minutes to find a car going to Orange.

I arrived here in late evening and tried to get a ride during the night for a while before camping here. Next morning it still took me two hours until someone agreed to take me towards Lyon. Much traffic to Marseille.

We got there by evening so we tried our luck and decieded later on to go for a sleep and try again in the morning.
Well the next morning I got lucky some truck driver took me to the next service are. It was quite a bit hard to get a ride because there we're 3 other fellow hitch hikers :) so that's the reason I decided to make it to just the next service area.

If you're travelling towards south-eastern France or Italy, the "Aire d'Ambrussum" is a very convenient service area: about 10 km away, near Nmes, there's the turn for the A54 to Arles (and on to Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Nice, etc.).
The area is huge, with dozens of trucks and hundreds of cars, so it's a good place to catch a long ride.
It took me 1,5 hours to get a ride (which took me all the way to Savona, Italy) as I tried most of the time to get a car, and most of them where packed with holidaymakers (it was August 1st).
