D377, 25390, Consolation-Maisonnettes
Been here?
Paved, very sloping parking at the Roche du Prêtre belvedere, easily accessible by campervan. It is a quiet natural spot, often deserted at night, with a splendid valley view from about 50m away and several hiking departures. There are no services, and levelling blocks may be needed.

"It is breathtakingly beautiful!" (The Towering Inferno) The parking area is very easily accessible by motorhome. It is sloped, but deserted at night, and just a short distance away offers a splendid view of the Cirque de Consolation from a rocky spur from which a priest supposedly fell. Coincidence? In any case, the view is breathtaking. No rubbish bin, but there are chamois and horses.Translating
The place is very natural and, if you are lucky, you may see chamois. Do not hesitate to go down into the valley to visit the cloister, where there is a nice parking area.Translating
Small, quiet and pleasant parking area in nature! Very convenient for a short hike, with a magnificent viewpoint! The only drawback is that there are no rubbish bins nearby, but otherwise it is perfect!Translating
Absolute peace on this rainy day in September. We stayed for two days without seeing anyone. Starting point for beautiful hikes. Follow the blue-and-yellow markings on the wide path descending from the viewpoint.Translating
Quiet, 50 m from a viewpoint overlooking the valley.Translating
Very beautiful place, magnificent sunset. The space at the top of the parking area among the trees is fairly flat. We spent a very quiet and restful night there; we were alone and enjoyed splendid scenery. We recommend it.Translating
Great view, including from the parking area; a lovely sunny spot on cold spring days or in late autumn. Superb view of the sunset.Translating
Parking occupied by a man living with 4 adult Swiss shepherds roaming freely, with lots of barking. I have nothing against dogs, but not 4 adult dogs plus 4 two-month-old puppies.Translating
Good for a break or to sleep, but bring leveling blocks.Translating
Very good spot, quiet, sloping ground but manageable, hiking trailhead.Translating
