France

France is a great country for hiking. There are many friendly car and truck drivers. The highways cost money, and at some "Péage"s you can get a hike easily. At some Péages all the traffic has to stop and pay - these are excellent spots to get a long ride further.

You can get free maps in the Peage offices - these also indicate where you can find the "all-stop-Peage".

Some Peages are really good, some or not so good. If you've been waiting for a while with an indication of where to go, drop it and try with your thumb only. And also, you can try to get a ride to the next good spot in the wrong direction.
