In 2021, a municipal officer made us leave at the end of the day, even though there were no prohibition signs. In 2022, it was no longer possible to stay overnight and the barrier was limited to 2 m. In 2023, the barrier was lowered to 1.90 m and the parking area became paid. Shame on the city for driving vans away!
Fantastic view, accessible by van but soon to become paid. In August it will cost €3 or €4. I met a couple and a woman who came over to talk to me on their own. I had a great time. Be careful: maximum height 2 m, and in width my extended T5 just barely fits.
New barrier at the entrance limiting height to 2 m. We were able to get over it with the T5 because the road was still under construction. Camping and bivouacking are prohibited throughout the municipality, as the forest ranger kindly explained to us.
A perfect day by the lake, paddleboarding all day. Very crowded in high season. You need to arrive early.
