Riverside stop, dam hum
6 Impasse des Lauriers, 26740, Les Tourrettes
Been here?
A riverside stopping place beside the Rhône, just before the hydroelectric dam, with little overnight traffic and no night parking ban. The dam produces a steady hum, while daytime traffic can be noisy. It is convenient for transit because it is close to the motorway, and there are views of the river, mountains and power station. The parking area is under a power line.

Really good for passing through, as it is close to the motorway. Great with a dog. But you are parked under a power line.
A quiet place to park overnight; noisy traffic during the day.
We had a very good night. Not too much car traffic. The dam does indeed make some noise, but it is soothing. Ideal place when passing through.
Excellent for one night, really right by the river. We stood on the grass strip directly next to the guardrail.
Good place to sleep on the way back from Spain, with a great view.
A really great place to spend the night when passing through. Please do not park in the roundabout, but on the grass area. We had a quiet, restful night.
This is not a car park, just a roundabout, and on a Wednesday-to-Thursday night there was a lot of traffic—not great.
We stayed here from Saturday to Sunday and it was very quiet. On one side you look out over the hydroelectric plant, and on the other you can see the mountains. We were able to let our little dog run free a little farther away in a quiet area that smelled of thyme and other herbs. Clean and peaceful place.
