Located not too far from the Railway Station. Friendly staff. Always nice car, this time I had a Peugeot 2008. Managed to refuel at a very convenient Carrefour gas station just 1 km away.
Very good car, but the in-car GPS mis-directed us on one occasion by not taking road closures under account, and Apple CarPlay worked sometimes and not others.
