Hitchhiking out
From Lille there are several options to hitch hike direction A1.
 
;Option 1
;Option 5
Go to ''metro station « Porte de Douai »''. Walk or hitch 4 km south (direction Ronchin). Or take the bus "Liane 1". After 4 km you will see a Novotel on your lefthand. There is a roundabout where there is a sign direction A1 Paris. However there is no direct access to the A1, the traffic direction Paris soon joins the A1 (After several hundreds meter, so if you walk to the south, you will come to the next roundabout, here there is a direct access to A1. And cars can stop for you.)
 
;Option 6
=== Going east? Take the A27 towards [[Tournai ]](= Doornik in Flemish), [[Brussels]] ===
 
;Option 1
Getting on the A27 by feet from the centre of Lille is several kilometers. A good option is go to "metro station « 4 Cantons »". From there it is about 500 meters to a roundabout which is situated west of the N227, where the D146 (a part of this D146 is called "''Rue Nicolas Appert''") is crossing the this N227 (which carries the name "''Boulevard du Breucq''", and is part of the E17). Avoid the working hours and days: this entrance to the highway has a lot of traffic sometimes, and not so much room for a car to stop safely. It is better to do it early in the morning.
(September 2017 Roel dropped Nati, she is from Argentina, at this roundabout 11h00 in the morning. She claimed to found a hitch in 5 minutes.)
(January 2022 Thomi found a hitch there in less than 10 minutes at 07h30, but an other time, no one stopped in two hours of waiting at 11h00)
 
;Option 2
It is a very quiet village in which you'll have to walk around 15 minutes to reach the gas station. From there, most of the cars go to Brussels but you can easily find a hitch to the main Wallonian cities ([[Mons]], [[Charleroi]], [[Namur]], [[Liège]]).
(January 2022 Thomi put his thumb up, and the second car stopped and proposed a ride to Brussels)
 
=== Going west? Take the A25 towards [[Dunkerque]], [[Calais]] ===
