The area is unsuitable for 7.5 m vehicles. Vehicles park there, making maneuvering difficult or impossible for waste disposal. No water except for rinsing the black-water cassette. We did not stay there; we did not visit the village or spend anything in the shops. Picnic tables and children's play equipment are available. It would be wiser to park farther away.
As mentioned in previous comments, it is possible to park in the large grassy car park under the trees, with picnic tables, where we are away from the cars. The tourist-office lady confirmed that it was allowed. Lovely village and an interesting castle visit. We did not need the services, so we cannot comment on them.
An extraordinary view of its superb church and castle, plenty of parking, and all essential shops. Thank you to the municipality.
Unwelcoming area, with no level spaces on the stabilized section for motorhomes. In addition, the area is not exclusively for motorhomes, so cars come and go. Very noisy. We left!
Plenty of space, either in the car park shared with cars or on the grassy fairground. Very flat. We slept very well in peace and quiet. Small town of character with heritage to visit; we will return, as we were only passing through. We ate very well at Chez Ninie pizzeria, which also offers takeaway pizzas. We did not use the waste-disposal facilities. Thank you to the town hall!
Many thanks to the mayor and the butcher for their availability and kindness. We were very happy to collect tokens for the services.
22 May 2025. Many thanks to the municipality. Free services, which is greatly appreciated. Tokens can be collected at the bakery, which is excellent, or at the town hall. Very pretty village with beautiful market halls and a splendid castle. Another castle nearby is worth visiting: Château de La Mercerie. Excellent restaurant on the market-hall square. We spent a very quiet night beside the fairground.
Superb village with a well-stocked Saturday-morning market. As for the area, avoid Saturdays: cars park in the spaces, making things difficult. Fortunately, there is also a beautiful car park for motorhomes. Thanks to the municipality.
Ideal location for visiting the town. Grey-water and toilet waste can be emptied. I strongly advise against vehicles over 8 m long because the spaces are very short and access to the disposal point is also complicated.
It is quite slanted, no space for a 7m+ MH in marked places. But this is also the meeting place for the local teenagers with noisy motorbikes on this sunny February Sunday afternoon.
Ideal location for visiting this small town of character, discovered by chance on our route toward Occitania, as well as its castle, which reopens to visitors on 11 December. We spent a very peaceful night here. It is very pleasant to be welcomed free of charge, and we thank the municipality.
We only stayed here to explore the village. The water for rinsing the toilet tank works. It may now be possible to fill the water tank here again.
Spaces are fine; unfortunately, the service area is out of order. Quiet for spending the night, with pleasant surroundings under the trees.
The service point is completely out of order: no water and no electricity. The spaces are fine, but the height clearance with the trees is difficult. The car park can quickly become chaotic when cars also park there.
