I didn't stay but I had a free shower at the toilets by the burger king part of the complex. it shows a disabled sign as suitable for wheelchairs. nice warm shower. you need to take everything you need. it's clean as long as people mop up after themselves. there's also lots of bins, so good for a pit stop. I don't stay at these places, but this was great for my needs.
Terrible place! We were robbed; they got in while we were sleeping right there! The area is very exposed and there is no security. The motorhome services do not work, and the showers are closed. Absolutely not recommended.
Got my van broken into TWICE in one night. I was awake fortunately and the men ran away but it was really scary.
The automatic barrier is down. We could not empty our tanks.
Never sleep there!! Never, ever, ever!!!! Someone entered our motorhome right in front of my eyes!!!!! It was the scariest experience of my life, with my three children and my husband! Fortunately I was awake; he was taking my bag right in front of me, with his hand reaching behind the curtain on the driver's side! The door lock was broken! I heard nothing; they are dangerous! Do not go there!!!!!!
Very few signs showing how to get there, which is a shame, especially at night. We are leaving and going farther on.
The barrier is down, but the services work!!!! We entered by reversing after checking that everything worked perfectly.
Black- and gray-water drainage works perfectly! We did not refill because it was not ideal! Still, very convenient! A place like this on the motorway is always useful! To enter conveniently, use the right-hand entrance to the service area, marked by the truck arrow.
We stopped to empty and refill our motorhome. Everything was very good; it is all centralized in a blue machine. After pressing a button, a door opens and you find the black-water drain and a hose that dispenses water. Everything worked very well.
Do not rely on the photos; the service area is farther away than the shelters, at the end of the rest area on the right, near the truck area. In January, only gray- and black-water drainage was possible. Clean toilets. Pleasant area for a break and breakfast at Paul.
Showers not working.
We emptied gray water easily, no problem. Other than that we did not use any facilities
Water dispenser out of order and toilets disgusting and don't flush. Save yourself the disgust and go to the toilets by the shop. The good news is we didn't get robbed which seems to happen to most people at this service station
The service machine is much farther away than indicated, toward the truck area on the right.
We stopped to sleep and everything was stolen! The same thing happened to several campers. They put you to sleep with gas, and if you wake up they spray you with pepper spray. Do not stop anywhere on the French motorway.
The area looks good, but the motorhome services do not work.
Still out of service, but it is possible to empty the tanks.
The blue water-filling station was out of service on May 14, 2024.
