=== North and West to [[Lyon]] and [[Montpellier]] ===
* Because of the changing of the departure of the highway its a little bit difficult to hitchhike in the city. The highway dont start at the Arc de Triomphe anymore. Now where the highway starts you can only stay at a traffic light which seems quiet difficult.
* But you can take a bus from the trainstation St.Charles to Vitrolles (a little village outside of Marseille). At the terminal of the bus (called Pierre Plantee) with the terminal at your back you go down the street on the other side of the roundabout. arriving at the highway you turn right and you will see the pertrolstation (Agip). Its only a little station but for asking for a lift to the next bigger petrolstation 20km away (called Lancon) its enough. From this station you get easily a lift in direction to the north and the west.

Going to Marseille is usually easy, but getting out of it might be a bit more complicated as there are many highways crossing nearby.
=== North or West by A7, towards A8, [[Aix-en-Provence]], [[Avignon]], [[Lyon]], [[Montpellier]] or [[Nice]] ===
* You can stand on the entrance to the [[L'Autoroute de Soleil]] (A7), 3 minutes' walk northwest from the central station Gare Saint Charles. From the station main entrance, follow the blue road signs for the autoroute. It is quite possible that there will be other hitchhikers there. It seems to be a fantastic spot.
There is not so much long distance traffic, so if you're heading far away, a "Lançon" sign is recomended. There is the [[tollstation]] and a big [[petrol station]] where you'll easily get a ride to Lyon, Montpellier or anywhere further.
* Another option is to travel by bus to Aix en Provence (5 Euros) and from there either to Avignon or to Nice.
* You can also take a bus (4 Euros) to the first petrol station on the A7 in Vitrolles from the trainstation St.Charles. At the terminal of the bus (called Pierre Plantée) with the terminal at your back you go down the street on the other side of the roundabout. Arriving at the highway you turn right and you will see the pertrolstation (Agip). Its only a little station but you can get a ride to Lançon from there.
=== East to [[Nice]] and [[Italy]] ===
Stand just before the entrance of the motorway [[Toulon]], [[Aubagne]] :
boulevard Rabatau, just in front of the Kyriad Hotel or Boulevard Jean Moulin, just after the last trafic light, at the entrance of the motorway which turns on the left. With a sign Nice it'll work!
