Ah, the one just opposite the quarries?
I never ate there, (for no particular reason, just happenstance) but have mates who did and said it was good.
Yes, thatās the one and they were rare in having a lad advising where everyone should best park. After I stopped with the heavies and turned up now and again with car and caravan, he found me a nice little spot next to the restaurant. I wonder if he is still there and if I will still have the sweet spot. 
Favourite of mine too! Heās me parked up outside it exactly twenty years ago, just locking the door to go in for a spot of nosh and vino collapso (still readily available in those days, of course!).
No parking that side for a few years now, as itās been dualled.
Just out of interest, I dug out my old log to see where I was going to and coming from. The photo was dated 27th July 2005 and Iād loaded stillages of auto-parts in Barcelona and was heading to Banbury!
If 2005 would you have run up the A75 then?
Barca, Beziers A75, Clermont F, A71, Orleans?
Then which port?
No real reason, just curious to know.
According to my log I exited Spain at La Junquera so I may well have used the Clermont route - I canāt remember and I was quite creative in varying my routes. I sailed out of Calais on the Seafrance Berlioz to Dover.
That is really strange, by 2005 I was already 2 years retired but I donāt remember being able to park opposite, but clearly you are.
It was on the RN 154. IIRC, it had a centre lane marked for lorries turning in or out of the routier. It wasnāt dualled then, and if Iāve got faulty memory syndrome, my camera didnāt 
I can remember the road before dualling, but could not put a date or year to it.
@les_sylphides says that pic was 2005, so fair enough.
It canāt have been long after it was dualled though I think.
That town raises many memories! And some lost nights (probably best to leave them forgotten)
I was there a couple of times over the last year or so. One trip to Barca, Figures, and the coast, and during a 4x4 ramble along the Pyrenees.
Bizarre place. Or bazaar? Buy anything there.
Iāll update you after Wednesday.
