Aire d'Aquitaine 2
We had a great time at this tank station. They had really nice fresh baguettes and the owner of the station came to talk with us while smoking a cigarette. Honestly a boutique petrol station. They also had a nice chair and table to sit whilst hitchhiking. After 25 min we got picked up by an elderly french couple in their campervan.rating: 5/5, wait: 25 min 💬+🪧

If you come from cities close to bordeaux, you can be left here. I waited about 20 minutes before finding a car to Niort/Nantes-Naoned/Vannes-Gwened on a sunday morning (11:30 a.m). Frankly, I don't think it's an excellent spot but if you're asking people to leave you at a service station on the A10, it works.
When passing close to the service station on the west side of the peripherique, I saw much more cars stopping by...
It seems that the two spots work if you have to cross bordeaux !

hard to reach, took us like 15 minutes by foot from the bus-station.we hitched on a sunday, so not that many people came by heading north!but i'm sure it works better on weekdays!can't recommend it, better to take another spot for direction Paris
