After its recent opening last year, TIP Secure Truck Parking Isoparc Sorigny continues to develop as a standout facility for heavy goods vehicle drivers on the vital Atlantic corridor connecting Northern Europe with Spain and Portugal. Located just south of Tours at the junction of the A10, A85, and A28 motorways, the site is evolving beyond a secure parking area into a welcoming destination designed around drivers’ everyday needs.
Building Loyalty Through Quality Service
The site’s growth has closely followed the operational plan established by TIP, with occupancy steadily increasing and a growing base of loyal customers returning week after week. Major logistics companies from Spain and Portugal now form a strong core of regular users, confirming Sorigny’s strategic importance on one of Europe’s busiest freight corridors.
“The ramp-up of TIP Secure Truck Parking Sorigny is going accordingly to what was planned and we still have availability, so come visit us.” says Charles-Henri Demoures, Regional Marketing and Communication Director at TIP Group. “Security is totally guaranteed through a reliable CCTV installation and experienced guards who operate for more than 1 year and have a strong knowledge of our procedures. Equally important is our motivated and dedicated team, which is committed to the smooth operation of the site, providing a pleasant welcome to customers and maintaining the facilities in an exemplary state of cleanliness—an aspect that remains a key priority for our customers,” added Charles-Henri Demoures.
Creating a Welcoming Community for Drivers
One of the distinctive features of Sorigny is its effort to create a friendly and engaging atmosphere throughout the year. Seasonal events have become an important part of the site experience, helping drivers feel connected even when far from home.
During the Christmas period, the site was decorated and drivers received chocolates as part of the celebrations.
Similar initiatives followed for Valentine’s Day and Easter, while national celebrations throughout the year have provided additional opportunities to engage with customers and foster a sense of community.
These seemingly small gestures have contributed significantly to the positive perception of the facility and reinforce TIP’s commitment to recognising the human side of road transport.
New Services Enhancing Everyday Comfort
The continuous improvement of driver services remains a key priority. Recent additions include a laundry service, a fully equipped kitchen available 24 hours a day, and a range of recreational facilities such as table football, chess and ping-pong.
To encourage healthy lifestyles, the site also organises sports sessions every Saturday mid-day led by a professional fitness coach. In a further example of supporting drivers and their families, parking customers benefit from preferential rates at the nearby Family Park amusement park, located within walking distance of the site.
Together, these services help transform waiting and rest periods into a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Sorigny is rapidly expanding its amenities to support drivers’ practical needs and downtime:
- On-site laundry facilities.
- A kitchen available 24/24 for drivers.
- Table games including ping-pong, chess, and baby-foot.
- Preferential prices for parking customers to visit the nearby Family Park amusement area (just a 20-minute walk).
- Sport animations every Saturday midday with a professional fitness coach.
Coming Soon: New Investments and Services
TIP’s ambitions for Sorigny continue to grow. Several new projects are already underway and are expected to further strengthen the site’s position as a benchmark for secure and sustainable truck parking.
A new outdoor area equipped with sinks is scheduled to open during summer 2026, while a restaurant adjacent to the parking facility is expected to welcome its first customers in June 2026. Plans are also progressing for an on-site supermarket, further improving convenience for drivers.
In line with Europe’s transport decarbonisation objectives, TIP is preparing the installation of truck charging infrastructure through a partnership with Milence by the end of 2026. Additional Electrics sockets for Reefer plugging trailers are also planned.
At the same time, the site is working towards achieving EU Parking Standard Gold certification, reinforcing its commitment to the highest standards of security, service quality and driver welfare.
Strong Customer Satisfaction
The results speak for themselves. Many loyal drivers come every week and the site boasts a very strong Top15 customers with major Logistics companies from Spain and Portugal.
Since May 2024, when TIP purchased the site, Google ratings have climbed impressively – particularly after the parking opening in the autumn of 2025.
“In September 2025, we had a global quotation at 3.3 stars, we are now at 4, with a large majority of comments at 5 or 4 .” explained Pauline Ducroq, Directrice de projets at TIP.
As freight transport continues to face challenges related to driver shortages, security concerns and sustainability requirements, facilities such as TIP Secure Truck Parking Isoparc Sorigny demonstrate the value of a holistic approach. By combining high levels of security with meaningful investments in driver wellbeing, customer service and future-ready infrastructure, Sorigny is helping shape the next generation of truck parking in Europe.
With capacity still available and new services on the horizon, the site remains ready to welcome drivers travelling between Northern Europe and the Iberian Peninsula while continuing to set new standards for the industry.
