Route de Mezilhac, 07530, Laviolle
Been here?
A peaceful picnic area beside the Volane, with river access, shaded tables and benches, waste disposal and natural bathing pools nearby. Overnight stays cost 2€ per night, payable at the town hall, and are limited to 2 nights. There is no grey-water disposal; in mid-March, the toilets were closed and water was unavailable. The village of Laviolle, with its steep traditional streets, is nearby.

A little piece of paradise for a self-contained van (the barrier was open). Hats off to the municipality for this quality welcome! (We did not test the sanitary facilities. Even without them: 5 stars.) Municipal tourist tax office for the €2. Thank you.
Overnight stays are limited to a maximum of two nights. Beautifully situated by the river, with access to the river, benches and tables, and waste disposal. No gray-water disposal. In mid-March, the toilets were unfortunately still closed and there was no water. Remember to pay €2 per night at the town hall, near the church. If it is closed, put it in the mailbox. Many thanks to the municipality.
Evening parking in the shade beside the river; a quiet, refreshing night at the end of June 2025. Sanitary facilities not used.
Parking beside the River Volane. Very quiet, few people, and lovely natural pools farther upstream—great for cooling off! There are also toilets, shaded picnic tables, and a children’s swing.
Could not find it using the map location, and the GPS could not find it either!
Lovely place with a beautiful stream. Sanitary facilities unusable and filthy.
Very nice spot, but little shade at midday. On the other hand, the superb natural pools are very welcome in these temperatures. Toilets not very clean—the only drawback.
Nice place, nothing to add to the previous comments. Do not forget to visit the town hall to pay your €2 contribution per person.
Rather quiet place, not many people; however, the toilets are rather dirty. It is still a beautiful place for swimming and walking upstream along the river. Note the splendid view! Raph & Mimi
This is a reception area, as indicated by a sign. The height barrier apparently is never closed except in exceptional circumstances. The €2 is only for the overnight stay. Toilets and sink are functional.
Quiet and peaceful place.
Perfect for a lunch break: shaded table, swing, and swimming, all in a peaceful setting.
