Aix-en-Provence (also Ais de Provença or Ais de Prouvènço) is a city in France.

Aix is beautiful city in the South of France, 30 km from Marseille. It is worth seeing for its architecture. There are few universities, so you can find here big population of students. Although locals seem to be very posh and snobbish, hitchhiking in this area is quite easy.

Hitchhiking Out

Take the bus 3 to Val St Andre and get down at Tourelles stop. Walk to the roundabout and turn right. A few meters away is a Total petrol station, you can ask there. If not, keep going and turn left in the next roundabout and just before the on-ramp it a good place.

Hitching spot

There is a very good hitchhiking spot at Pont de l'Arc (it is the name of the crossroad on A8 - La Provençale). It is 20 min walking from city center; very easy to find - just go down Avenue Brossolette till the motorway. Place yourself at the entrance to the motorway, there where pavement ends. You can try to hitch cars coming from your left and right, but for safety reasons better if you focus on cars arriving from your left.

There you can also find numerous hitchhikers' Traces.
