Been here?
A small, flat and easily accessible parking area lies in the forest below a chapel. The chapel and nearby viewpoints are higher up, where flat parking, picnic tables and a beautiful view are also available. The spot is generally quiet, with hiking and mountain-bike routes nearby, although strong wind can make the area noisy.

Parking in the forest, flat. Just above, next to the chapel and its viewpoints, there is also room to park flat. Unfortunately, we had a windstorm, so it was very noisy for sleeping.Translating
Flat ground and easy access. Perfect for one night.Translating
The spot looked really nice, somewhat hidden, but we preferred to leave because of the number of mosquitoes the moment we arrived.Translating
In the chapel parking area, downhill under the trees, with picnic tables, rubbish bins, and a magnificent view with an orientation table. We had lunch there. It is certainly quiet at night.Translating
Very good spot, flat, sunny, and quiet! Hiking and mountain-bike trails start here. Bakery, Auchan supermarket 5 minutes away by car, and rubbish bins 3 minutes downhill from the spot. Be careful: a man came to warn us about a pack of wolves; do not let your pets roam alone! Please respect the place and take your rubbish with you!Translating
The parking area 100 m higher, at the foot of the chapel, is much better and has the advantage of a view.Translating
Very nice, discreet place, really great. The higher parking area offers a beautiful view.Translating
We did not feel comfortable here. We drove about 100 m farther up the mountain. There is a lovely rest area with a few tables and benches, as well as a great view. There is also an amazing viewpoint on the hill. The only drawback is the large transmission mast.Translating
Very discreet place, perfect for spending one night. There is some motorway noise in the background, but it is not too bothersome.Translating
