'''Metz''' is a city in the northeast of [[France]], capital of the [[Lorraine (Region)|Lorraine]] région and préfecture of the département of Moselle (57). Metz is not really easy to hitch out of. There are no real good spots close to the city. It is better to get dropped out of town as soon as possible in order to be able to hitch a better ride afterwards.
=== Going North or West ([[Paris]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Holland]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]]) ===Take bus number 6 that goes from the city centre (République) to 'La MAXE'. The ticket costs around 1 Euro. ATTENTION! It runs only once an hour. Look at the [http://www.tcrm-metz.fr/UserFiles/File/lignes/l6.pdf schedule]. Get off at the stop beside the massive IKEA shopping centre and walk down the road until you see a roundabout and an ESSO service station nearby. Walk down the ramp until you reach both of the exits. One [[hitchhiker]] got a lift within 10 minutes while standing between the ESSO petrol station exit and a [[motorway]] exit. There is a lot of international traffic in this region.  Another option is a 2 kilometer walk from the center. Walk along Boulevard du Pontiffroy towards North-West. Turn right on the Rue Ardant du Picq (Follow the signs saying Luxembourg/[[Thionville]]). After crossing two bridges you will find the ramp to the highway. You can hitch right before the ramp, on the bridge. See the map. This might be a bit problematic during rush-hour, but then it could be better to hitch with a [[sign]] right after the roundabout on the end of Boulevard du Pontiffroy.
=== Going South ([[Nancy]], [[Dijon]], [[Lyon]], [[Spain]], etc.) ===
