Excellent paved place for an overnight stop on the way to Spain. Next to the gendarmerie and within walking distance of a bakery and small grocery store. Plenty of space, quiet, rubbish bins, grassy strip, clean, benches.
Perfect... No shade but very quiet—the gendarmerie is next door lol lol, so we are certainly safe, and the museum is not far away and worth visiting for an overnight stay!!
Good for one night. Close to the motorway. Very quiet in the village. Safe. Bakery and shops nearby. No facilities. Thank the municipality.
Very quiet night!
Quiet place, less than 2 km from the motorway and next to the gendarmerie. In the village square you can enjoy something to eat or drink.
Well, being able to stand and sleep directly next to the National Gendarmerie for one night is something special. Thanks for that. Great, quiet, level place.
No services apart from rubbish bins... but ideal for spending one night. Close to the gendarmerie. Thanks to the municipality... and the accommodating local residents.
Quiet night. Rubbish bins. We recommend visiting the circus museum.
We had a good and quiet night. We have never felt as safe as during this stay in front of the police station. At first we were unsure whether it was actually allowed, but after several police cars passed by without saying anything, we spent the night there calmly. Thank you for tolerating it!
Great, quiet parking area for sleeping, with the gendarmerie right next door. So you really sleep safely.
November 22, 2025. Thank you to the town for allowing us to spend a night in this parking area, without services but very secure because it is right in front of the gendarmerie. Double thanks, knowing there is a Camping-Car Park in the same town and that they clearly try to ban all parking around it. So a really, really big thank you to this town.
Beautiful spaces, easy to access and quiet, ideal for spending the night; the gendarmerie is next door, which makes it secure. Parking area located in the village, close to shops. Thank you to the municipality.
Good location, level ground, easy access, quiet.
Perfect for spending the night: quiet and level.
Great place for an overnight stay. We arrived late in the evening. The place is level and very quiet. There are rubbish bins but no other services. In the morning we noticed that the National Gendarmerie was directly beside the place. You probably cannot park anywhere safer!
Level place in this municipality with essential shops. Be aware that you can clearly hear the A20 at night.
Large parking area opposite the gendarmerie. A few cars pass on the nearby road, but it is completely quiet.
Beautiful, clean, quiet place. Great for sleeping.
Next to the gendarmerie, so naturally quiet; no young people coming to cause trouble. Great for a good night's sleep.
Mixed parking area. There is a supermarket nearby. Safe. I recommend it.
Simple parking area next to the gendarmerie. Very quiet night. Thank you to the municipality for allowing us to stay overnight. We bought bread and cake at the bakery on Avenue de la Libération (very friendly and very good), made other purchases at the unusual grocery shop, and stopped for refreshments at Chouchou—all to support local businesses.
A stop for a truly peaceful night. Clean place, gendarmerie right next door. Thank you to the municipality.
Ideal for spending the night. Gendarmerie at the end of the parking area. Very quiet.
