Favorite Routiers and other European Truckstops

OssieD:
The last photo is the old main French/Swiss St Louis border looking from the Swiss side, had a lot of fun there on a Monday morning packed to the gunnels with lorries trying to discharge their TIR carnets as it was in them days, obvious a modern photo as the old French border post was a wooden hut in the middle of the road, no posh canopy. The customs house was on the left looking from this side you had to drive round the back to get your seals checked, very tight. Two very good restaurants on the left and right on the Swiss side.

Ossie

You’ve got it in one Ossie, The Landesgrenze run by ex-driver Tony and the Zollstubli on the right. this was a favourite with Roba and Howe European drivers in the early days as I remember. Second photo was the restaurant on the N43 near Houlle run by a Russian lady used to stop there for breakfast when catching a late ferry and crashing out in Calais (wouldn’t do that nowadays for fear of attracting illegals) the 3rd photo was the Couronne at Kogenheim (sadly closed now I think). Happy Days…
