Rest area, truck noise
86370, Vivonne
Been here?
A former Bison Futé rest area suitable for breaks, with shaded spaces, picnic tables, bins and a fuel station with a shop nearby. The toilets are poorly maintained, and the area itself is neglected, although level spaces can be found. It is generally quiet apart from highway trucks, but the lighting is defective and nighttime activity has been reported.

I arrived here at night in my van. The site lighting was broken, and there were abandoned, neglected buildings and numerous paths through the forest where people met in the middle of the night. Otherwise, it was quiet; I was alone. Anyone who does not have to sleep in a roof tent can stop here.
The toilets are extremely basic, with picnic tables in the forest. We stopped for a break and had a quick meal; the activity there felt strange to me.
The rest area itself is quite chaotic. Not well maintained. The toilets in the rest area are disgusting. Hopefully the fuel station has decent toilets. We found a level spot for our motorhome next to the old information centre (now closed down). It is very quiet accept for the trucks on the highway all night long.
Secluded rest area with functioning toilets. Petrol station and shop next door.
Very peaceful, lots of shade and bins… good for a stopover.
Very quiet area, with lots of shade, tables, and toilets.
Very good for eating in the shade of large trees, or even for sleeping. Bins and tables available.
