=== West towards [[Clermont-Ferrand]], [[Bordeaux]] A89 ===
* '''Warning''': Since 2013, the [[A89 (France)|A89]] runs directly from Lyon to Bordeaux via Clermont-Ferrand. Most hitchhiker websites still advise you to head south towards St. Etienne over the A47 first, but this new route is much more efficient.
If you want to go to Clermont-Ferrand, take the A89 : it's easy and fast.
First take the metro D ("Gare de Vaise" direction) and get out at "Gorge de Loup" station.
Then take the bus 38 to "La Tour de Salvagny" (The metro ticket is still available for this trip).
Get out of the bus at "La Tour de Salvagny" bus stop (20 minutes ride). Then take the first road on your right called "Avenue des Monts d'Or".
Walk straight 500m to a bridge. Under this bridge, pass the N7 that goes straight to Clermont-Ferrand. You just have to stand up on the side, it's safe and people have a very large place to stop.
Indicate that you would like to go to the "péage" (Highway toll gate). Almost 50% of the people passing through the péage are going straigth to Clermont-Ferrand. So have a good ride!
