L'Echoppe de Gustave - A79 sur Toulon-Sur-Allier

Clean, modern bathrooms! Nice small shop

Good charging points and a neat shop

It's a rest stop that's very convenient for truck drivers, large, with plenty of parking spaces, a gas station, a bistro, and restrooms – everything is there. I often park here and have never had any problems with diesel theft.

Pleasant welcome and plenty of choice. But if you're in a hurry: avoid it during peak hours. It took us 30 minutes to get two breakfast options, which wasted a lot of our time...

We ate in the cafeteria, and my son (the one with long hair, if the cook remembers him) said he was the best cook in the world because he was so kind and always smiling, and he also tried to cheer up the customers. (He wanted to tell him, but he's too shy.) The woman who served us was also very kind and patient with the customers.

Lack of shade in the parking lot

I recommend this establishment.

Big parking, a bit noisy. The train is behind the parking.

Nice area, spotless toilets but only one 50 kW charging point for our Zoe. No shade outdoors because young trees were planted a few years ago but 50% are clearly dying due to the 2026 heatwaves.

Huge but very well signposted inside, you can find everything you're looking for. Very clean. Excellent coffee at a reasonable price. A great place for a stopover.
