Bad Route to Germany? <br>
I found very little traffic going towards Germany / Bourg-en-Bresse from this location, and almost none going all the way to Germany. Little truck traffic and mostly trucks stopping for long rests. For the amount of time it takes to get to this rest stop it is probably better to head first to Dijon and from there continue towards Germany. -flasher702

Medium sized rest area on the highway with petrol station and restaurant. Lots of traffic going towards Geneva; also, vehicles with Dutch and Germans number plates going via Dijon. Halfway before the road splits in direction Geneva and Dijon (after about 30km) there is a parking area and after the split, another petrol station at Ceignes.<br>
Take bus 171 from "Hotel de ville" next to the river in Lyon ([http://www.tcl.fr/en/Getting-Around/Getting-around/171 timetable]) and get off at Montluel train station (penultimate stop). Head east about 1km along Ave. des Platanes and Blvd. Robert Schuman. Turn right at the intersection onto Rue des Chartinières. Head south about 1km crossing under the railway tracks and the bridge over the motorway. Take the first turn left after the bridge and follow the road close to the motorway. There is a small space to enter the petrol station, only for pedestrians, behind the little house at the end of the parking lot.
The bus trip takes about 45 mins (2 euros one way) with another 20 mins walking. It goes through some small French villages and along the way lots of big supermarkets in case you need food.
