Awesome spot with a lot of traffic. I camped with a tent nearby, met another hitchhiker with whom we chatted throughout the night. The next day I asked the first Czech car which took me directly to Prague. Quite lucky!

Easy to go to Paris, just to ask people on the gas station

we did not manage to get a ride towards Germany for an hour, until a truck driver offers us a ride bc he saw us waiting during all his mandatory rest time

6 offers to Paris till I asked some Germans who went towards Nancy (and then dropped my 1/3 of the way).

great for North South traffic, bit harder to head East. after 20 min I found someone heading to Dole who dropped me at a service station (bois guillerot) to get on the West East axis. There wasn't much traffic and it was brutally cold but only waited 15min before I got a lift to Freiburg.

Very easy place, we waited 15 minutes to get a car to Paris (we were two girls). The strategy is to ask to people who get back to their car and with the plates 75, 91, 92, 93, 95 or 77.

Good spot for Paris, best strategy is to ask parked drivers. Very busy with hitchers in summer it seems. A few British cars heading for Calais too.

Got a ride to Dole Met 3 other hitchhikers (1+2), all of them going to Paris. (June 2014)

Monday morning, 2 people going to Paris. Got a ride within 10 minutes directly to Paris. Strategy: Asking at the parking spaces. If going to Paris, look out for number plates ending with 75.

Good Gasstation going north via Nancy/Metz (in the Daytime). The station suff kicked us out in the night :( But in the morning we catched a ride to Wiesbaden ... Quite impossible hitchhiking in the night here.

Was not too easy to get a ride direction Mulhouse but mainly because of end of vacations (full cars). Finally got a ride directly to colmar.

can take time to find a ride in direccion Mulhouse/Germany. There is a gas station between Bole and Besancon, so you can take rides from people going to Besacon.

Very bad spot to go to Paris, especially during holidays or week-ends returns. Had to wait for hours despite the heavy traffic of cars going to Paris. They were mostly fulls of stuffs, children etc.

Even at midnight you can get a ride, somehow useless to ask for truck drivers, refusing almost everytime for insurance reason (normal...)

Easy to go to Paris/North. You can cross the sides. If you come from the south and want to go to southern Germany, you have to bite the apple and try to go to direcion Besancon/Mulhouse. Should work within an hour.

Good spot, we found a ride to Paris in half an hour
―Vicuze, November 2011
for going north (nancy) or direction paris it might be allright, but never try to get to straĂźbourg. we waited more than one hour before we decided to try it via metz (which was the better choice)
