Route du Lac, 38850, Paladru
Been here?
A large roadside parking area with an exceptional view over Lake Paladru. The road is busy and can be noisy in the late evening and morning, but the spot suits a one-night stop and can accommodate very large vehicles. A boat-launch area is opposite the road.

Extraordinary view of the lake. Rare to find around here. Very large and spacious spot by the roadside (a little noisy late in the evening and in the morning as a result), great for one night. The very kind owner of the house next door even offered to connect us to 230 V for the night.
Very busy road. But it is possible to park with a very large vehicle. Boat launch just across the road. Ideal for one night.
This is only an emergency spot. The road is actually quite busy.
Fairly large parking area, and especially a paddleboard launch below. I struggled to find one. You should know that 90% of the lake's shoreline is private, either private houses or campsites; in short, there are fences everywhere, which is very sad.
It is rare to find a spot with such a splendid view of a lake, hence the five stars. We had breakfast with this view upon waking, early in the morning, with mist covering the entire lake and gradually dissipating. Around the whole lake it says “swimming forbidden,” even on the public beach. The only real prohibition is crossing the lake by swimming; the river police sometimes intervene.
Level parking area by the roadside of a moderately busy road, therefore well suited for a coffee break. Unfortunately, there is no access to the lake and swimming is prohibited.
