Shaded valley viewpoint, quiet nights
950 Rue de l'Allée, 84660, Maubec
Been here?
A wild overnight spot beyond the parking under the castle ramparts, with several pitches along the path or beneath the pine trees. It offers a beautiful view over the valley, flat shaded areas and very quiet nights, with birds, a cockerel, dogs or cicadas sometimes audible. The village bar serves coffee from 7am, while the bakery is closed on Tuesdays.

We spent the night from July 6 to 7, 2026. Very quiet, lovely view, lavender field nearby, and small streets and stone houses not far away. You can have coffee from 7 a.m. at the village bar down below. (Bakery closed on Tuesdays.)
Following the other comments, pass the small parking area below the rampart, which is in full sun all day, and continue along the path beyond the last houses. There are several spots, either along the path or diagonally under the pine trees, with a view of the valley and Mount Ventoux in the distance. Perfect and clean when we visited.
Continue past the parking spaces along the path. Pleasant spots are 200 metres farther on. We spent an evening and a night there, very peacefully. Unfortunately, it rained this morning.
Nice little place, not very secluded but with a view. It is practically in the middle of a residential area, and in my opinion stopping there is not welcome because there is a clear sign. I preferred to leave and go to the nearby campsite, which costs only €15.
Continue along the path; there is a shaded spot on your right with a great view. Flat and shaded ground.
Very quiet path; we spent a peaceful night in our van, our very first time. We were woken only by birdsong and the rooster. One vehicle passed in the evening and one pedestrian in the morning. Several vans were parked along the path, but each was more than reasonably spaced apart. Not all the spots are level, but we found one by following the road.
Very quiet place beside a path with a beautiful view, where you will encounter only a few walkers. No noise at all.
We drove along the dirt road behind the castle, beyond the parking area. Superb sunset view; a little noisy because of dogs and a rooster, but we were very comfortable in our van.
Very beautiful viewpoint for a lunch break. A little shade under the sound of cicadas. Just enough room for one van on the left before reaching the castle.
A very pretty and amazing place to stay, but not possible to stay overnight. We were woken up by a very friendly policeman who told os we couldnt be staying here. Its perfect if you want to go here for a picnic or a few hours rest, but not possible to stay overnight :-)
A little too close to the path for my taste, but ultimately quiet with a beautiful view. Almost level. 4G okay.
