Been here?
This is a very small free parking area beside the road, with a superb view over Lac du Chambon and the barrage. A hand-operated water pump is present, but its drinking status is not indicated. Recent reports say it is unsuitable for motorhomes, although vans may fit, and traffic increases from around 6 a.m.

Very small parking area right beside the road. Impossible to stay with a motorhome; perhaps possible with a van, but we drove on.Translating
Beautiful view and very good for a break. We would no longer stay overnight because there is heavy traffic in the parking area from 6 a.m.Translating
Good spot with a superb view of Lake Chambon. Parking without restrictions; we spent a quiet night, with cars passing as daylight began. Water fountain, drinking status not indicated. We recommend it without hesitation.Translating
Fine for a stop and to enjoy the view.Translating
Level, with public toilets and bins nearby, a view of the dam, and peaceful apart from passing cars. Perfect for a quick overnight stop.Translating
Fine for a quick stop to see the barrage. Did not see any toilets. At the junction of 2 roads.
Nice for a one-night stop. Beautiful view of the lake, but if you arrive during the day you probably won't find a space because it is heavily used by cyclists and hikers setting off on their trips. Also convenient for large vehicles.Translating
Okay for a stop but we didn't sleep here. It smelled like pee and we saw two people stop and pee here.
Quiet night. Woken around 7 a.m. by the many vehicles passing on the main street. Sublime view of the lake. Bins nearby, public toilet, and recycling bins available. Fountain present but closed due to level 4 drought restrictions. No possibility of emptying grey or black water.Translating
Small parking area beside the lake with a beautiful view; lots of daytime traffic, located on the Grenoble–Briançon route at the crossroads of the road to Les Deux Alpes, but quiet at night. Bins and toilets above. Very good for a stopover.Translating
Small parking area at a road junction by a dam. Quite a lot of traffic during the day. Beautiful view. No services. There is a water pump, but it looks rather unattractive; it is unclear whether it works.Translating
