Been here?
This motorhome area beside a restaurant offers panoramic countryside views, walks, a pétanque track and a cycle path. Electricity, water, drainage, rubbish facilities, a terrace and tables are available, with pets welcome. The gravel spaces can be very sloped, and a very busy, extremely loud road runs beside the parking area. The restaurant is friendly and serves fondue, while service-only use may depend on staying overnight.

Parking on the restaurant’s gravel parking area, unfortunately very steep in every direction. Well-maintained lawn around the parking area. Friendly owner. Electricity from a central connection point; a long cable may be needed. Water and waste services available. Unfortunately, an extremely noisy road runs past the parking area, with a 70 km/h speed limit. There was not a moment of peace.
Camper spot with a beautiful view near a nice restaurant. We were passing through and only came to empty our tanks. That was actually only allowed if you also stayed overnight, but the friendly owner let us do it anyway. Thank you!
This could be a real little paradise. Everything is perfectly maintained, friendly management, beautiful views, lovely walks, and delicious fondue… unfortunately, it is next to an extremely busy road where people drive very fast from 6 a.m. until after 10 p.m. Such a shame…
Warm welcome, spotless place.
Great place in nature with friendly hosts! Next time we will come for fondue!
A very warm welcome. Very well set up for motorhomes. Quiet place. Superb walk. The meal, including cheese fondue, was delicious. Impeccable and very helpful service. A wonderful evening.
The site is very nice, the owner lovely, and the fondue-and-parking package is a great idea. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for a lovely evening.
Very beautiful camper spot with facilities such as electricity, water, gray-water disposal, and toilet dumping. Excellent restaurant with quality fish and meat, an extremely hospitable owner, and the possibility of ordering breakfast at your camper, which is delicious and generous. Highly recommended.
Update to the general information. The services are not free. €5 for emptying the black-water tank. Water may also be an optional service.
Great place to spend the night. You can easily walk from the camper spot, and the surrounding villages have everything you need. You can empty and refill everything. There are no sanitary facilities, but you often have those in your camper yourself! The walking route was beautiful! And we only saw happy people leaving the restaurant. Unfortunately, we did not try it ourselves. Friendly owner! He tries to help in all languages!
We were there last night to enjoy the restaurant and the place… unfortunately, the restaurant was closed. Perhaps this could be indicated on the website. It would have saved us a detour. We did not stay.
We were welcomed very warmly by the owner. We ate delicious food in the restaurant. We will definitely come back here again! Thank you for the warm welcome and the delicious food.
Very nice place, but one drawback: two minutes after our arrival, the neighboring farmer spread manure right behind the fence, three meters from the motorhomes. We therefore left immediately without settling in. What a shame.
Nicely laid out. Unfortunately, it is directly next to the road and somewhat sloped, so you have to park with the front facing the road. Nevertheless, a lovely spot. Unfortunately, the fondue restaurant was closed. Correction: one star less because the road is quite noisy.
What a beautiful place. A tip for the owner: write the opening hours in your description. We wanted to come for dinner, but it was closed today. Still, a very beautiful place—we will definitely come back!
Friendly and helpful owner. Nice place to stay, although there is some noise from restaurant guests and the road. Electricity, gray- and black-water disposal, and water are available. Many different fondues in the restaurant. Oh yes, it is sloped, so leveling blocks are needed; then it is perfect.
Friendly, good fondue package, everything you need is available. Excellent place.
Absolutely exceptional, friendly owner, great welcome, and a fantastic evening.
Pleasant for a short stay. We stayed there for one night and used the fondue package. Highly recommended. Friendly host.
Impeccable welcome and an especially friendly owner! Very original package… To do again :-)
Friendly assistance, definitely worth it for the price!
WARNING: The parking area will be closed for all of July 2025 and the first week of August 2025. Please take this into account. (The owner: La Faitafondue)
What a great concept! You eat a delicious fondue in the restaurant and can stay overnight for free. Very friendly welcome. We made a reservation by email. The beautiful MDY25 walking route passes the camper spot. You can also connect to WM11 via this route. Ideal for a weekend!
The view over the valley is beautiful. Disadvantages: You need large blocks to level the vehicle. The electricity is in a corner of the parking area, so be sure to bring enough extension cables.
We arrived after 8 p.m. for a stopover and received a warm welcome from the owner’s wife. We were alone during the week. €15 per night with all services included. If you eat at the restaurant, the night is free. We woke up peacefully to a beautiful view.
Impeccable site with a very friendly restaurant! There is a three-hour walk nearby where you might find beautiful mushrooms! Suitable for couples and groups alike; I highly recommend it!
The spot and view are okay. But it is very sloped, so large leveling blocks are required. The electrical outlets are centralized in one place. One cable may not be enough, and all the cables lie in the middle where everyone drives over them. The restaurant was closed. We moved on.
We parked with a friend and had a wonderful time. Very good service area with all amenities and panoramic views. Some traffic during the day, but it is quiet in the evening. Camera surveillance and automatic lighting at night. Excellent.
Very nice parking area and impeccable service area. Bring a sufficiently long electrical cable, at least 25 meters, if you are far from the charging wall. Excellent restaurant with incredible decor.
Perfect. We were there with friends and loved the place. A pétanque court is available, as well as a lovely terrace that we used for breakfast. Highly recommended. All-inclusive service area for €15: electricity, water, gray water, and garbage.
Very beautiful parking area, and the service zone for campers is excellent and clean. The meal in the restaurant plus the dancing evening—we did not know we could dance after dinner, which was great. Very pleasant atmosphere, and the restaurant’s decor is beautiful, as is the food. Thank you.
Perfect place. Beautiful panoramic view. Very welcoming owner. Very clean service area.
Perfect. Beautiful and very well-organized place, and very clean.
Closed from August 18 to 29, 2024. We came here for nothing. The claim that it is open all year is therefore incorrect. It does look very beautiful.
First stop with our new motorhome in this parking area. We could not have chosen better. Beautiful, very well-maintained place; everything was available on site: water, electricity, toilet… The on-site restaurant is highly recommended, and the fondue package is excellent. Many thanks to the owner for his kindness and availability. We will gladly return.
Very practical place to spend a night, with working gray-water and toilet disposal! The owners of the restaurant on the same property are incredibly kind and accept well-behaved dogs. You can order breakfast by leaving your cooler at the restaurant door! If you eat at the restaurant, the parking spot and electricity are free!
