Spent one night intending to visit the Rice House the next day. Missed it because it was closed on Saturday. Maybe next time... Very quiet place; thanks to the owners for allowing access to the parking area for motorhomes.Translating
Excellent stopover, very quiet night, and the welcome at the Rice House is very authentic and warm. This is a must-see place to learn about the culture and history of rice. I highly recommend it.Translating
Excellent place to spend a quiet night, flat pitch, and the Rice House is an absolute must-see. Warm and informative welcome about the life of a rice-growing family. I highly recommend this place.Translating
Very beautiful place in the middle of the Camargue. Quiet and tree-lined, a pleasant place to spend time with friends. The little shop is not very well stocked, but the rice is very good and high quality. The only downside: beware of our mosquito friends, XXXL size!! :)Translating
The shop should be open for the detour to be worthwhile! We waited 45 minutes in front of a closed door, and people we met later during our trip had the same bad experience!Translating
The place is peaceful and very pleasant. The visit is worthwhile and very informative. The welcome is genuinely friendly; Marine is a lovely person who knows how to receive guests with simplicity and kindness. The products are excellent; buying them is a way to thank them for providing free parking. No services. I highly recommend it.Translating
Just a one-night stop. Quiet pitch, perfect.

A great and peaceful place between rice fields and beautiful nature. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes mentioned above really are a problem. Many thanks to the winemaker.Translating
At least in August there is a mosquito plague here. Anyone who wants to sit outside in the evening or forgets to close the vehicle will be tormented by mosquitoes. If that does not bother you, you can spend the night here. Otherwise, the options in the region are limited.Translating
Very beautiful place, with a wonderful welcome from Marine at the shop. Nice little museum to learn more about Camargue rice. Short walk along the rice fields.Translating
Magnificent and wonderfully peaceful.Translating
Very warm welcome, very interesting visit, and we left with good products. Very quiet night. The frogs! Well, we are in the countryside, so that's normal. As for the mosquitoes, we had come prepared.Translating
As the name suggests, this place is surrounded by flooded rice fields. We arrived at the parking area but had not even opened the doors before there was a cloud of insects and mosquitoes around the windows. We preferred to leave, but the place looks very pleasant.Translating
Super beautiful, peaceful motorhome pitch. We arrived around 1 p.m., and no other camper came until 7 p.m. There is room even for very large vehicles like our expedition vehicle. No electricity or water, only for self-sufficient vehicles. Unfortunately, the shop was closed for an agricultural fair when we were there, but we looked inside and it is a lovely little shop where you can buy great things.Translating
Very beautiful stopover; every year we stock up on rice, which is excellent. Quiet, friendly, well maintained. Thank you to these producers who welcome us so kindly.Translating
A very warm welcome from Marine, the daughter of the rice farm. Be sure to hear the explanations about all the work of rice farmers. Come and discover this family farm in large numbers.Translating
Quiet and peaceful place... In the heart of nature. Visit the farm and learn how the rice fields operate. Very kind and welcoming people.Translating
Very quiet pitch. No view, which is perfectly normal since we are in the Camargue and it is completely flat. But everything is green here, at least in spring. Note that the shop is closed all day Saturday; otherwise it is open mornings and afternoons (9:30–12:00 and 14:00–17:30). To visit the rice fields, you must book!Translating
Spotless pitch, very beautiful view, very welcoming owners. I highly recommend it.Translating
Correction to the description: electricity was never supposed to be available. Some campers connected without asking, so the owners cut off access to their outlet. Quite right. Please show some respect and ask permission before setting up. The visit to the Rice House is very interesting, with a friendly welcome. Stop by the shop!
Very quiet beside the Little Rhône. View of the rice fields.
Great place at Maison du Riz. Had a good night's sleep. Clearly intended as parking for one night. We were warmly waved to upon arrival. The next day the shop was closed. There are various signs listing rules and prohibitions for motorhome guests. Note: no electricity, contrary to what is stated above.
A superb stopover!
