Quiet climbing parking, rough access
Le Bourg, 71460, Culles-les-Roches
Been here?
This small countryside parking area serves a climbing site with a table, an approximately 80m cliff, a quarry up to 15m high, and over 40 routes up to grade 7a. Access requires 300 m on a narrow, rough dirt road that is steep at first, and is unsuitable for large motorhomes. It is usually very quiet, although climbing gatherings and parties can occur on weekends and sometimes during the week. A village bell sounds regularly, and a Mirage may pass overhead three times a day.

Spent two days there. Top climbing spot, with an approximately 80-metre cliff and a quarry up to 15 metres high, featuring more than 40 routes up to grade 7a. Located on a mountain peak, it is endlessly quiet apart from the obligatory village bell. Well, a Mirage flies low overhead three times a day. The approach is already an adventure. Supermarket, bakery and petrol station feel 15 kilometres away through the mountains, with steep ascents and descents. Tough going for cyclists! Places2be.Translating
Totally unsuitable for motorhomes because the road there is very narrow and bumpy. Better suited to small vans and four-wheel-drive vehicles. Otherwise, it is beautiful. On weekends, and sometimes during the week, climbers gather and party.Translating
Very narrow access, more or less off-road; otherwise okay.Translating
A very pleasant and peaceful setting. We spent one night there, on a Sunday evening. A few climbers were there late in the afternoon. There may be more people at weekends because it is a hiking trail and climbing site.Translating
