Opposite the harbor. Forty-eight-hour tolerance in February. Noisy.Translating

Good for a lunch break. There are three parking areas in a row, one under trees that provide shade. View of the harbor, quiet, and a restaurant nearby.Translating
1. It is trailers, perhaps trucks, that are prohibited. 2. No toilets, only accessible by badge for port users. 3. Noisy depending on wind direction and time, due to factories, the N568, etc.Translating
Prohibited from June 15 to September 15 because of local events. The municipal police monitor the area and intervene quickly. Parking is possible at the Cavaou beach parking lot.Translating
Quite suitable for one or two nights. The parking lot is clean and monitored by video. The police patrol in the evenings. The surroundings are somewhat bleak, however, and you can hear industry and traffic.Translating
Good for a break and for going to restaurants and cafés. Very noisy in high season. A meeting place for young people who come by car. If you want peace and a charming spot, avoid it.Translating
Good for a lunch stop; I would be hesitant to spend a night here during the season, when the marina activity is intense. 'Beautiful' panorama over the bay, from the Lavéra oil port on the left to the steelworks and refineries on the right; in the center, tankers at anchor wait to unload their black-gold cargo.Translating
Very good for sleeping, safe, and with a shower nearby.Translating
The toilets were closed, many parking areas together, highly recommended, quiet, and next to the beach.Translating
Nice open carpark with plenty of well lit space. Parked in the centre double spaces, and was able to make parkup level with no assistance. Slightly windy but not enough to bother. Locals came to enter us us loud music at around 2am. Great Spanish bangers so didn’t mind. Flag poles made a tinging sound like a wind chime in the breeze. We slept well despite the Spanish dance carpark party.
Nice place to stop. However, there is a lot of car traffic until around midnight. We were the only ones sleeping there. But we felt safe because the place is under video surveillance.Translating
We spent a quiet night here. The municipal police passed several times. A small beach with a shower is right next door. The toilets were closed, however. There is a children's play area on the larger beach not far away, as well as a small carousel.Translating
Not a quiet night at all. There was construction early in the morning, and in the evening a car parked next to us and repeatedly slammed its door against our vehicle. We did not feel safe.Translating
Spent the night here. Had a wonderfully quiet night. The toilets were not open, but McDonald's is three minutes away! Great place for one night.Translating
A beautiful, quiet night and wonderfully close to the small beach.Translating
