Chavanassieu, 26600, Crozes-Hermitage
Been here?
Two large car parks on a belvedere road offering beautiful views across vineyards. Generally quiet and peaceful at night, with a picnic table provided; the terrain slopes notably. Excellent for day hikes and overnight stays. Access via very narrow road; parking just before the barrier offers flatter ground.

The parking area just before the barrier (80 m higher than indicated) is a little flatter! Superb view, no noise, and you can spend the night peacefully :-)
Great spot, a beautiful night ahead. Very beautiful view and a nice hike.
Visited at the beginning of May 2026. We drove up with a long campervan, which was just manageable. There was only one other van during that period. Wonderful quiet place with great views all around.
The view is fantastic and it is really nice. However, it is sloping and there are a lot of people. So it is good for visiting or perhaps one night to rest, but no more. Late in the evening, cars come to race around. No rubbish bins. The road to get there is very narrow.
Quiet spot with a beautiful view and lovely walks nearby. Room for 3 or 4 vans/campervans.
01/01/2025 Very beautiful and peaceful place. Nobody bothered us and the views at night are spectacular. Recommended.
As described, a top-level place for peace and quiet, views, and especially the short walk.
Quiet place, walks nearby. Truly a place to sleep where nighttime peace reigns. Pleasant during the day for walking or discovering a chapel, vineyards, and a truly magnificent panorama.
Superb, relatively flat and quiet place. We were alone at night. One or two cars on Saturday evening. Wonderful views, with a summit only a few minutes' walk away. Ideal place to watch the sunset and sunrise. Watch out for hunters on Sunday morning.
Superb place to spend the night; the comments should be considered only during the summer season. Very quiet night and superb view over the vineyards! (September 11, 2024)
Difficult night. Lots of people until 12:15 a.m., young people drinking and shouting. Sloping ground. Splendid view! A picnic table is available.
A few picnickers for the sunset, then alone in the world with a magnificent panorama!
Great place; arrived on July 14 around 5 p.m. and was alone in the world... an hour later, more than 40 cars. This allowed us to enjoy a magnificent fireworks display at the top of the Belvedere. Several hikes to do around here... I recommend it; the climb is not easy but manageable.
Quiet, sheltered place. You are usually not alone for long; other campers or hikers keep appearing. A peaceful night's sleep was possible!
Parking area with a charming walk. It is becoming very well known, so there are lots of people.
Small road to access it, but we did not encounter anyone, probably because it was off-season. A few cars in the evening and morning, but a very quiet night; we were alone. Super beautiful view, worth remembering.
Great for a quiet night with wonderful surroundings! We were here with a 7.5 m motorhome. However, the approach from Crozes-Hermitage is not recommended; the route from Tain-l'Hermitage is better.
Quiet, extraordinary view.
