Paris is the capital of France.

Hitching Out

Like nearly every big city, it's difficult to hitchhike out of it. Paris is even more difficult, since the ring highway (periferique) is relatively small.

A1 Northeast towards Lille, Belgium

Take RER B to Stade de France and after walking a while you'll find a final traffic light where you can ask for the first gas-station on the motorway (around 2km away and NOT accessible from outside of the motorway)

A4 East, towards Strasbourg, Germany

The first gas station is close to RER A station Bussy St. Georges. From there you walk south for about 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 this route on Google Maps - the gas station can be seen right of the bridge on the south side of the map.

The péage is not far from there, though it might be further than the closest highway exit.


Another Option: Go with the RER Line A (Red) in direction Boissy St Legere until the station Nogent Sur Marne (~ 2€). There leave the station in direction Rue "Joinville" and follow the sign to the A4. Its about 30 minutes by feet. I ve got a "A 4" sign because there is as well the acess to another Highway. I someone stops ask if they can pick you at least to the next gas station, there anyone could go without paying anything (peaje)so its a big chance to get at least there.

A6 South, to Lyon, Marseille, Barcelona, Italy

Porte d'Orleans, at the périferique seems okay, Metro Porte d'Orleans. There's a gas station, and a good spot at the traffic junction to the "périferique extérieur". Don't go with cars going into the suburbs. The next tollway or gas station takes about 50 km!

Another solution is to catch a train in direction "Melun via Corbeil-Essonnes" to Villabé (1-2 trains per hour, departing from "Châtelet" or "Gare de Lyon" RER station, about 6€; at non-peak hours you might have to change trains at "Juvisy" (line D). From there walk about 20 min along rue de la Gare and then to the right along rue des Lisses, cross the autoroute, you'll see the gas station from the bridge. --Daniel 19:31, 13 January 2007 (CET)

A10 South to Orleans, Bordeaux, Spain

This road follows the route of the A6(see above) from Paris, then splits from it near Antony/Rungis. There's no gas station between Porte d'Orleans and the motorway junction.
