Le Moulin De La Barne — Restaurant in Saint-Omer

There is a big truck parking over the street. It belongs to this restaurant. Either you pay 20€ for a parking, either order something to eat or just like me - drink 4 beers.

The first impression was really bad. Nobody speaks proper English here although parking is for everyone and surely not only French people park there. Second, and the worst one - I stood in the parking when I had 5 minutes left of my working time. The parking was half empty and there were no road signs that Convoy Exceptionnel trucks have their place but "curtains" have theirs.

When I said that my working time is over and where is a problem if I stay there, he didn't explain me anything (I guess he didn't understand what I am saying to him), and he pushed me to remove my truck from the place. I did overwork my working time since I had to move, this was an unfortunate and unnecessary move. This is why only 3 stars from. If not that it would be 5 stars. The beer is very tasty, I suggest the dark one. 5€...
