The rest area is away from the motorway so we couldn't hear any traffic noise, which was perfect for relaxation. The indoor distancing system is well-organized and logical. There's a pleasant outside picnic area that's ideal for families exploring the Causses du Quercy region. You can take a nice stroll around the area - the limestone plateau views are absolutely stunning and showcase the natural beauty of the Lot department. I only gave it 4 stars because the toilet facilities need improvement. Some cubicles lacked paper and the hand dryers weren't powerful enough to properly dry hands.
