I dont know if any of you funsters have ever used the Les Routier restaurant system in France, but if you have not I will try to explain what its all about. For anyone transiting France on the RN you will have seen the Les Routier signs at some restaurants, its a red a nd blue round sign with the logo on it. These are really truck stops and give good food at a reasonable price. They have set menus at lunchtime and evening meal times with ample parking. I have used them extensively when I was working and always use them with the motorhome. They allow overnight parking if you eat and most have shower facilities. The set menu price is generally below 13 Euros, so wont break the bank, and you get secure overnight parking for free. Obviously some are better than others, but the majority are very good indeed. The best ones will start to fill up at around 5 PM with trucks, so are easy to spot. I found a good website which rates the best of them, so no need to book a campsite when in transit, and you dont have to do the dishes. Bon appetit :thumb:.
