Favorite Routiers and other European Truckstops

I’ll look out for that as I’m probably going to England later today, not sure if Dieppe or Calais though.

The routier at Vendargues was crap, not to put fine a point on it, better than nothing but not much. The food was dry and tasteless and, with 2 large kirs and a coffee to follow it came to €20. Not surprising that there were only about 6 French drivers in.

I didn’t even get a decent conversation out of it. I sat down as the last man at a table of 8 only to discover that they were all yattering away in a mixture of Portuguese and Ukrainian. :unamused: I don’t think they were drivers, saw no Porto wagons on the park, probably contractors or something. They were as impressed with the food than I was.
