This parking area is intended for fishermen. If you see tents, they belong to carp anglers. These fishermen pay for their fishing rights and are allowed to camp and park. Stop coming and squatting for days. This parking area is for daytime parking. For motorhomers, there are three motorhome areas around the lake.Translating
No prohibition on-site or on the access road from the village. Very quiet and a beautiful view for spending a peaceful night. An English van and a fishing tent had clearly been there for some time, so it seems tolerated, at least at this time of year.Translating
Beautiful place at the end of the road, peaceful, with a water point and basic toilets, but practical.Translating
Perfect place, working tap, and the toilets are open and clean.Translating
Very pretty and quiet, but the mosquitoes are terrible.Translating
We stopped here. Beautiful place with a lovely sunset and absolute peace. In the morning, a little coffee with the birds—it was perfect!Translating
Pleasant place to spend the weekend. Too bad the taps have been removed, so there is no longer a water point, and the toilets are closed.Translating
Magnificent, peaceful place with a superb view of the lake. Very good spot, perfect for children who want to fish. I recommend it.Translating
A perfect evening and night. A clean place frequently used by fishermen, with a boat-launch area. Please respect this place so that we can continue enjoying it for a long time.Translating
Large, flat area for several vehicles, with a view of the lake over the tall grass. Very quiet night, but lots of activity early in the morning from fishermen launching their boats.Translating
Good, peaceful place, but the view of the lake was blocked by tall grass and the small embankment. On some days, depending on the humidity, there may be an invasion of mosquitoes. Easy access to the water for paddleboards.Translating
Very beautiful view: forest, lake, birds—what more could you ask for? Freedom.Translating
Quiet place with a few mobile homes. I recommend it. Toilets closed at this time of year.Translating
Apart from the closed sanitary facilities, everything was fine. The spot is beautiful, with a lovely view of the lake. You fall asleep and wake up to the sound of birds.Translating
Quiet and isolated place, very pleasant, with a lovely view. However, the toilets were in a dreadful state and there were mosquitoes.Translating
Very beautiful place, very peaceful... but there really are masses of mosquitoes. We left.Translating
Great place to spend the day on the water. beautiful views and quiet nights sleep, however, the mosquitoes really do start to attack in the evening!!!
Peaceful, with plenty of places to picnic by the lake.Translating
Pretty place, but the mosquitoes are beyond an invasion. We left after 20 minutes. I absolutely do not recommend it.Translating
Better than mosquito repellent: to disgust them, take a lemon, cut it, and rub yourself with a quarter. In less than five minutes, they will stop bothering you.Translating
Very pretty, but we were attacked by mosquitoes—a real invasion—as soon as we arrived. We left immediately.Translating
Great spot, very peaceful, with a water point for filling a few bottles or a small 5-liter jerrycan. Toilets cleaned regularly. But beware of the mosquitoes—they are voracious!
The place is actually a dream. But we had to flee after five minutes. I have never experienced so many mosquitoes... In three weeks of vacation in France, we were bitten less than during the five minutes at this place. The insects here are extremely aggressive!
Very nice lakeside area with a toilet and water point, although it is a shame that some idiots relieve themselves right next to the toilets and leave their toilet paper behind. Several spaces available, but beware: extremely high concentrations of mosquitoes. Bring the necessary protection.
Beautiful, peaceful place. Clean toilets. Beware of mosquitoes after sunset.
