Perfect spot! We arrived at 9:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 25; nobody was there! View of the lake, dry toilet, not yet tested. Picnic tables. Flat, peaceful, wooded ground! And now there is a bin!Translating
Top panorama with sunset, little space but peaceful, with a dry toilet. I recommend it.Translating
Lovely shaded place, easy to access, level ground. There is a small park with woodland play equipment and a few tables. We only went there for a lunchtime stop on a Monday. Very quiet.Translating
Quiet night near a magnificent viewpoint where you can admire the sunset over Lake Chalain. No services, but free and in the middle of nature.Translating
As described. Clean, quiet, pleasant place.Translating
Lovely spot. We arrived around 8 p.m. All the spaces in the parking area were taken, but we parked in the bend—we have a small Estafette. Dry toilet and a superb view of the sunset. Perfect for one night.Translating
Great spot, relatively level. There are now bins. Starting point for numerous walks, including bicycle routes around the lake. Very quiet.Translating
We spent one night here. There is a beautiful viewpoint a few minutes' walk away, a quiet night, and picnic tables. A bin is missing, and the dry toilets were unusable.Translating
I had already been here in 2019. Nothing has changed: the spot is still quiet at night and has a superb view of the lake. The beaches can be reached on foot by following the “Domaine de Chalain” signs.Translating
Relatively level pitch. Very quiet at night despite heavy traffic during the day, as expected at a viewpoint. Very good 5G coverage (Free). All that is missing are bins to complement the tables already there.Translating
Ideal for sleeping: parking and a dry toilet, plus a view of the lake! I recommend it.Translating
Quiet night, great spot with dry toilets and a viewpoint over the lake! We recommend it.Translating
As overnight stays are prohibited everywhere, this former bend allows you to do so at the end of September.Translating
