Boucle du Coolidge, 05330, Saint-Chaffrey
Been here?
This is a calm summer parking area, including a second asphalt section beside the river on the site of an old ice rink. Seasonal workers sleep there in summer without causing disturbance, and the gondola and natural municipal pool are 3 minutes on foot. The pool is cold, around 20 degrees, and the parking was paid in April 2024.

A second paved parking area lower down, a former ice rink beside the river, is also available. A few seasonal workers sleep there during the summer season; it is not bothersome. The cable car is accessible in three minutes on foot, as is the natural municipal swimming pool (cold, 20°C at the end of July), a boules court, and a free communal electric plancha available through an app.Translating
Quiet in summer. We stayed here because the motorhome parking area was full. Thanks to the people who take up two spaces with their setup without leaving room for others. This abandoned swimming-pool parking area is nothing special, but it works for one night!Translating
April 2024. Paid parking.
Not very nice as next to an abandoned swimming pool and spaces small. Difficult to find one to overhang with the bikes. Convenient however for the shops before moving to the proper aire just a short distance away. Parking disc required but not sure what the limit is. Construction nearby.
Attention: 48-hour limit this winter.Translating
We wanted to park here, then noticed there is another equally large and practically empty area below, even in this season. You can hear more of the stream there. Paved and level.Translating
Last day of the ski season, next to the cable car. We were alone in the parking area, which was level and paved. Since it was practically out of season, there was no charge and no height barrier. Very quiet area, with no services, but nearby you can fill up for €3 and dispose of waste.Translating
