30/07/26 Overnight parking is FORBIDDEN behind the stores. Overnight parking in front of the stores will be tolerated within reason. This is not a public car park! Any violation will henceforth be reported to the authorities. Please redirect yourselves to the other campervan areas in the valley. Signed, CARREFOUR & INTERSPORT stores.
Far enough from the supermarket that you cannot hear customers coming and going. If you go all the way to the end, there is a shady table with lots of coolness. Just the soothing sound of the river, masking the traffic noise. Perfect for a break.
The space for picnics and tables is pleasant. You can sleep in the supermarket parking lot, but it's not recommended. It's quite noisy due to the cars and market machinery engines constantly starting up.
We slept here last night. We parked up in the spaces behind the supermarket & were really surprised how quiet it was We parked alongside the river & we couldn't hear any traffic at all over the sounds of the river. The only sound apart from that was the store's Aircon unit which ran even when the shop shut.
Just as the description says: shaded picnic tables, a Carrefour Montagne, and its gas station. We stopped there to eat.
Washing machines and dryer outside small Carrefour shop (there is a much larger and better stocked one in town). Coin or card operated, would be able to use if shop closes but any problem and the staff do have a key. 18kg machine now €10 and 8kg €5 for 35 mins wash. Not the most effective washing machine we've used, but does the job! One large dryer available - €3 for 20 mins.
Indeed, the road is very busy until the evening and early in the morning. You can hear the river quite a lot, but it is not disturbing for sleeping! Far from the nicest parking area for one night, but it is very useful.
