{{Hitchhiking Zine nomination}}
==== Porte de la Chapelle =North/Northeast towards [[England]], [[Lille]] and [[Belgium]] {{afr|1}} ===That's where the A1 starts and the local drivers say that they often see hitchhikers, so apparently it does work:) It worked for us as well, though I think Charles de Gaulle might be a better(faster;) ) option. Anyway, to get there take the metro no12 to Porte de la Chapelle, and there walk to the roundabout. You can try getting a ride on the roundabout(there are traffic lights there so the cars have to stop) or you can stand on the oposite side, facing the roundabout, where the highway starts.
These are classified by cost in public transportation from Paris''I waited 2 hours here getting nothing until somebody finally took me to Aire La Courneuve (see abovecentre. There is a bonus pro-tip at the bottom involving Arras :) where I was only 5 minutes.''
=== A4 East, towards [[Metz]], [[Strasbourg]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Germany]] ===The first gas station is close to RER A station Bussy St. Georges. From there you walk south for about Option 1 km (you can ask at the counter) along a bigger road, which will lead you to a roundabout. You can try from there, but the gas station is just a bit more than 2 km from there. You can walk on the grass field next to the highway. The gas station is called "La Ferrière". An alternate route to reach the gas station is to walk through the industrial zone of Bussy, right south of the railway, then reach the bridge over the highway and then follow on the grass until the gas station that is quite near. This avoids walking in the grass (annoying especially in winter and when raining) and instead most of the walk will be on a road, and you will save some time. You can follow [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=gare,+bussy+saint+georges,+france&daddr=chemin+Porte de+la+rue+pavee,+bussy+saint+georges,+france&sll=48.831899,2.723193&sspn=0.01291,0.040169&ie=UTF8&z=15&llChapelle =48.831814,2.726369&spn=0.01291,0.040169&t=h&om=0 this route] on Google Maps - the gas station can be seen right of the bridge on the south side of the map.
A good option to leave faster is to show at the roundabout a sign for the airport Charles de Gaulle. There is a petrol station (Aire La Courneuve - see Option 2) before the airport where the driver could let you out; don't miss it! The [[péage]] station is not far from thereso big and many drivers just go to the airport but at least you can ask people, though whereas it might could be further than the closest highway exithard and long at Porte de la Chapelle.
===== Second Opinion, go direct to the 'Peage' =====Take RER A4 to the last stop (Marne-Option 2: Motorway services Aire La-Vallee - Cheesy). The Peage (toll) is [http://maps.google.es/maps?f=d&hlCourneuve =es&geocode=&saddr=48.853082,2.838163&daddr=&mrsp=0&sz=14&mra=mi&sll=48.847717,2.845201&sspn=0.027337,0.080338&ie=UTF8&ll=48.853364,2.830825&spn=0.013667,0.040169&z=15&om=1 here]. Its around an hour and a half walking or there's buses going most of the way, they leave from the station next to the RER. Also its not too hard to pick up rides to reduce walking distance. From the peage its easy to get rides to [[Metz]] or even straight to [[Germany]].
=== A11 South-west to [[Le Mans]], [[Nantes]], [[Rennes]] and all parts of [[Brittany]] = Option 3: Charles de Gaulle ====This highway splits from the A10 near Dourdan. There are several possibilities go get on this road: # The gas station at Briis-sous-Forges. Look at A10 section# Take a train to Rambouillet from Paris-Montparnasse (about 7€) and start hitching on the N10 south, until the A11 entrance# Take the train from Paris-Montparnasse to Chartres (12€) and start hitching from there.
