Canal parking, noisy nights
107 Rue du Cas Rouge, 45800, Combleux
Been here?
Free parking beside the Canal d'Orléans, 100m from the Loire, with walks, cycling, and jogging nearby. Public toilets with hand-washing facilities, rubbish bins, and a bicycle repair station with a tyre pump are available. It is generally pleasant and clean, but can become noisy at night because of young people, music, cars, and shouting. Vans are preferred, and vehicles over 6 metres may find access difficult.

Free toilet with hand-washing facilities and a mirror. Free parking 24/7. There is also a bicycle repair station along the canal with a pneumatic tyre pump. Rubbish bins available.
Excellent and clean, a safe night with toilets nearby. Great for cycling and jogging.
The spot seemed to be fine, but from about 4 a.m there was a lot of movement, loud music, etc.
From 2:30 to 5:30 a.m., teenagers kept coming and were very noisy with their cars running, loud music, honking, and shouting. Otherwise, it is a very nice car park. Perhaps it would not have been quite so loud if we had parked outside in the larger car parks.
It is a superb place, very pleasant and also very busy. Close to the town hall and a school. However, I would advise against this car park for vehicles over 6 metres. Parking across three spaces is not a good idea if you do not want the locals angry with motorhomes. With our 5.40 m van and bike rack, we managed to park in one space, overhanging onto the grass.
Perfect car park. We spent Sunday night there. No noise at all. Public toilets nearby. Plenty of spaces for our 7.5 m motorhome.
Nice place near the canal and a sports court, ideal with children, with public toilets, but also close to a youth centre. We left around 1 a.m. because young people were hanging around the court and partying, making it impossible to sleep.
Excellent place for our lunch break; our 6 m van could fit in a normal shaded space under the trees. Lots of cyclists and joggers, plus a wedding, so spaces were scarce and the place was somewhat lively. Lovely walk by the canal with our dog, and clean public toilets. We really enjoyed it. The restaurant was closed, so no Loire fried fish for us!
Very well located for cycling or walking, right next to the greenway along the canal towards Orléans (5 km). We parked on the yellow gravel area beside the glass recycling bins, which has more room than the marked parking spaces. We stayed 2 nights, moving to a parking space during the day. Beware of the rubbish truck on Wednesday morning at around 7 a.m.
It is best to park the motorhome in the bays about 30 metres before the entrance to the car park. As mentioned in previous comments, you can enjoy wonderful walks along the canal and the Loire.
