Aire de Wancourt Est
Definately a catch towards North, West and East! I met people going all directions, even to South since the place is connected to the other side of the motorway with the tunnel. Very easy to access from Arras as well, just follow the maps to the service station, there is a fence around the service station, but its either easily climbable or the gate is open (or can be opened).rating: 5/5, wait: 30 min, ride: 125 km ↖

Many people going to Brussels, Amsterdam, Calais. Don't try to go at the toll further up because nobody is going to take it for Lille (as it is easy to go around). People think they won't pass by Lille but insist as they WILL for sure. You'll be drop somewhere where you can get a city bus. Not many cars at the station and I had to insist to convince people they can help me. i thought it would be easier for Lille

After waiting 20 minutes, a small car stopped with 4 "dutch-belgian" (female) students in it. They took me to Lille. I was alone and I look like a "girl". I had a sign to Lille.

End of July, hundreds of dutch people going home (something like 90% of the traffic); at first we thought "Nice, that's gonna be fast !", but after a few hours and countless "We don't take hitchhikers." or people who don't even have the decency to answer a simple "Hello." we must admit that we lost hope pretty fast...
