Thumbs up
A custom in Royans-Vercors
In Royans-Vercors, hitchhiking is a common practice, whether for residents' daily commutes or for visitors looking to reach the start of their itineraries. It's a way of getting around that's part of everyday life in the region.
However, remember that one overriding rule applies: you always have the right to say no! If you're not comfortable, don't hesitate to decline an offer, perhaps by saying you're on a call. Listen to your instincts; safety comes first!
For more stress-free travel, you can also sign up for RézoPouce, the "Blablacar" for hitchhikers, to be more relaxed when traveling with your thumb in the air.
