As good as any service area and conveniently within walking distance of either the RER or metro.

====Aire La Courneuve====
This is most probably the best way to get to '''Belgium''' by hitching at the gas station [http://maps.google.es/maps?f=d&hl=es&geocode=5837971829389385952,48.934623,2.393732%3B3201522175225020794,48.920638,2.410383&saddr=Aire+de+Service+de+La+Courneuve+%4048.934790,+2.393710&daddr=&mra=mr&sll=48.918269,2.403388&sspn=0.013649,0.040169&ie=UTF8&ll=48.933157,2.396951&spn=0.006823,0.020084&t=k&z=16&om=1is Aire de Service de La Courneuve] . BUT: if you take a closer look at the gas station on google maps, you will see that there is accessible a wall surrounding this gas station, but do not think that you cannot get on it from outside the highway, because it is: Go either to [http://maps.google.de/maps?f=d&hl=de&geocode=&saddr=La+Courneuve+Aubervilliers&daddr=Rue+Paul+Verlaine,+93120+La+Courneuve,+Seine-Saint-Denis,+Ile-de-France,+Frankreich&sll=48.926137,2.394161&sspn=0.01892,0.040169&ie=UTF8&cd=1&ll=48.928026,2.388539&spn=0.018919,0.040169&z=15&om=1 "La Courneuve Aubervilliers" ] (RER B) or [http://maps.google.de/maps?f=d&hl=de&geocode=&saddr=La+Courneuve,+8+Mai+1945&daddr=rue+paul+verlaine&sll=48.93333,2.392216&sspn=0.009459,0.020084&ie=UTF8&ll=48.926137,2.394161&spn=0.01892,0.040169&z=15&om=1 "La Courneuve, 8 Mai 1945" ] (metro line 7)and make your way to rue Paul Verlaine. The RER station is about 2km walk away and the metro station around 3-4km. You just have to climb a wall that is approximately 1,90 m tall and go through a broken fence [http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&hl=de&geocode=&q=paris+la+courneuve&sll=50.785102,5.710144&sspn=1.165162,2.570801&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=48.933836,2.394&spn=0.001182,0.002511&z=19&iwloc=addr here]. and you are at the gasstation.
Second opinion
Take RER B to Stade de France and after walking a while you'll find a final traffic light where you can ask for a ride to the first gas station on the motorway, Aire La Courneuve, which is about 5 km away and ''not'' accessible from outside of the motorway.
Possibly better: take line 13 to Carrefour Pleyel, walk along Boulevard Anatole France [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=Carrefour+Pleyel+station,+France&daddr=charles+de+gaulle&sll=48.927631,2.383518&sspn=0.027124,0.080338&ie=UTF8&ll=48.923881,2.358456&spn=0.013563,0.040169&t=h&z=15&om=1 Google Maps]. After a while you will see the highway starting. It's not a great spot, but if anyone stops, they can at least drop you off at the gas station (just ask nicely if they are getting off the highway at exit 4).
