Table service, self-service, sandwiches on the go or fast food: at our service areas, the catering service is running at full speed so that you can vary your meals according to your tastes, your desires, your budget and the time you have available.
And if you prefer to compose your own meal, the shops offer a wide range of products, from major brands to regional specialities.
On the A1 motorway, you have chosen to spend the night at the Cœur des Hauts-de-France Ouest rest area : after parking your truck in the heavy goods vehicle parking lot separate from light vehicles, head for the showers in the commercial building and then the restaurant.
Here you can sit at a table in a restaurant, opt for self-service or eat a sandwich at the counter. What about shopping? Bread, drinks, fruit, savoury and sweet dishes, but also hygiene products and everyday items: in the shop you will find everything you need to eat or to continue your journey.
Finally, if you want to relax, take a look at the press area, connect to the free wifi or simply have a coffee before returning to your truck.
Where can I find a calm and safe rest stop with a heavy goods vehicle?
When it's time for a break, you appreciate the tranquility of smaller, quieter areas. Our rest areas are therefore designed for you…and your truck: dedicated parking spaces away from cars, restrooms with access to drinking water throughout, and green, tree-lined spaces. Here, a break means peace, nature, and serenity.
To get off the beaten track, plan a stop at the Chevrières rest area located on the A1 motorway towards Lille, at kilometer 60 between exits 9 and 10.
Here, showers, deck chairs, a barbecue, a ping-pong table, and a mini fitness trail allow you to rest your body and mind. Not forgetting the educational trail laid out around a pond to showcase the local flora and fauna, perfect for a pleasant walk in nature… just a few meters from the A1 motorway! Our rest areas have other surprises in store for you, depending on the landscapes you pass through: plains, forests, and even the coastline are never far away. You have plenty of choice; there are 124 of them along our motorways!
