Been here?
This large gravelled area along a road 3km from Salers towards Aurillac offers unobstructed views of Puy Mary, valleys, and eagles. The flat, spacious layout lets you position away from traffic. Road noise is not bothersome per recent reports, though expect morning traffic around 6am. No facilities; perfect for quiet overnight stops.

Very good for spending a night before going to Salers. You can get away from the road. Road noise is not bothersome, with a little traffic from 6 a.m. No other motorhomes, even in the middle of July.
Quiet spot by the roadside with a beautiful view.
Quiet spot despite the road nearby, with a superb view! Wide enough to let the dogs run free!
Very beautiful place, the scenery is magnificent and the road did not bother us. However, as at many spots, there are traces of people using the area as a toilet: please hide your traces and above all do not leave toilet paper in nature!
We arrived at night and discovered the landscape this morning… wow, magnificent! By the roadside but not dangerous at all. Perfect for an overnight stop. We were woken by the cows, which was very funny, and it was cool to see them.
Beautiful view, but that noisy road at night is far too busy for it to be peaceful. Not our idea of a good spot.
Beautiful view of the mountains, but the parking area is very close to the road and there are tyre marks from drifting, so we did not stay.
The view is fantastic, and there is plenty of space to park. Great.
Magnificent view, large flat parking area, busy road during the day but very quiet at night.
Everything is as described, including the lack of toilets. Note that there is a path on the right of the site, below the road, but it is a dead end. If you need seclusion and are an expert at reversing, it is great!
Very beautiful viewpoint!! What a shame that the motorhome already there when we arrived casually threw its tin cans into nature!
