Dune-view picnic area, no shade
D237, 50440, Vauville
Been here?
A picnic area at Belvédère du Thot with a splendid view over the dunes, three picnic tables and space for about 6~7 vehicles. There are no services and little shade, but the road is very lightly used and the area is generally calm. The beach is 20 minutes away on foot, and the viewpoint is especially noted for sunsets. Processionary caterpillars have been reported nearby.

Popped there for lunch with a view, sadly turned out to be way too hot to have lunch with no shade but the view was incredible! Translating
An incredible night at this spot, with wonderful van-dwelling neighbors who came to offer us cider ❤️. No facilities, but breathtaking views and no problems staying overnight, although it was off-season. Absolute peace and quiet, with very little traffic.Translating
3 picnic tables and space to park 6–7 vehicles. Great viewpoint, ideal for a meal stop!Translating
Please don't anger the beekeeper; you know what Jason Statham is capable of ;). Seriously, just don't take a massive dump in front of the gate, where the bees are kept. The woman who takes care of her bees wasn't amused by the pile of shit. Leave the place as it was, so everyone can enjoy the beautiful sunset here. Lots of people stopping for a quick nice view, quiet nightTranslating
A superb view and a lovely sunset, if the clouds allow it. Little traffic at night, very quiet, and no one around in the early morning. No bins on site, but 3 picnic tables.Translating
Picnic area along a very quiet road. No facilities, but perfect for spending a peaceful night in a van. Splendid views over the Biville Dunes and a magnificent sunset.Translating

Had lunch in front of this incredible panorama! Superb.Translating
Magnificent panorama! Splendid evening! Lovely encounters with everyone who came to admire the sunset. Very peaceful night, with very little traffic. Beautiful light in the morning too. Do not try to drive a van down the rocky path; it is too narrow and there is nowhere to stop.Translating
