An excellent rest stop where you can stay in the dormitory or stop for lunch. With a donation, you can get bread, cheese, and a tart, or whatever else they have on hand. Volunteers are definitely available on weekends. In winter, the winter shelter is open in case of emergency. There is no bathroom.
