Chapel parking, night bells
11 Rue de la Chapelle, 39130, Fontenu
Been here?
Small paved parking beside a chapel, suitable for vans and a daytime stop or one night. The location is generally quiet, with hiking routes, a belvedere and a snack nearby. A drinking-water fountain is available at the bottom of the access path. Church bells ring regularly, including at night, and spaces are flatter in the middle and toward the rear.

Very quiet; we are going to spend the night. We will see whether the bell tower wakes us up.
The place is very good; the only issue is the church, which rings every 30 minutes all day and night, but it did not disturb our sleep. We are halfway along the route for the hike to the various viewpoints, and at the bottom of the access path there is a drinking-water fountain. Be careful not to park on the gravel road beyond the parking area, as it provides access to a house.
We spent one night on May 3, 2025. It deserves credit for existing, but indeed the bells ring every hour. At the end of the parking area there is a road leading to a residence; do not park there. Someone photographed our vehicle when leaving, even though there is no parking prohibition.
Good parking area for a smaller campervan. The church bell rings occasionally during the night.
Small paved parking area. Perfect during the day and for one night. Thanks to the municipality. The bells did not disturb us.
Generally quiet place. There is indeed a church, but you know that when you park here. The parking spaces seem flatter in the middle and toward the back. A snack bar and the viewpoint are nearby. I only stayed overnight and through the morning.
The site is nice; being close to the lake and viewpoint is a plus. Okay, the bells ring a little loudly. Let’s say it is part of the charm of the place…
Parking for passenger vehicles. Suitable for vans, if the spaces are not occupied by cars.
Extremely friendly place and neighbors—yes, the bells ring! Twice every hour. Parking is allowed in the parking area; respect the grassy section!!!! Please do not park there; preserve this space.
We spent one night there, but no more, because indeed the bells ring every hour.
Good place for one night, but the bells ring every hour, twice two minutes apart (for example, at 6:00 p.m. and 6:02 p.m.). Hiking trails start here. Water is also available on the front of the town hall with a quick connector.
