Yes, it is: "idx_lieu_parking" btree (parking) WHERE parking = true .
Sorry for not pointing it immediatly.
If not, the index is not used at all (there are very few lines in lieu
with parking=true).

So the basic explanation is that it's in both lists due to the partial
index and only qpqual keeps the condition? I would have expected the
opposite but it doesn't change anything I suppose?

Thanks for your answer.
