Chemin Cézanne, 83910, Pourrières
Been here?
This small parking place beside the Provence canal and water reservoir is 2 minutes from the village and offers a peaceful overnight stay. The unpaved approach is rough, with loose stones and potholes, so drive carefully. There are no services, but the canal, nearby forest, walks, dog walkers, and sunrise views provide an attractive setting. Internet coverage is completely unavailable.

Absolutely perfect! Very quiet; it is a dog-walking area but really clean. Great evening and night!
Perfect for sunrise! But be sure to park along the rock blocks. Leave the private “Mas des Graviers” road on the right. Hunters woke us early in the morning.
What an incredibly beautiful place. The road there is full of loose stones and potholes, so drive carefully. The dogs loved being able to get into the water by themselves. One problem: absolutely no internet reception, completely cut off from the inhabited world. Not convenient if you work while traveling. Great if you do not want to be reachable. Sublimely beautiful!!
Quiet for one night. Some runners and dog walkers pass by.
I am in a van. A truly peaceful and pleasant place. Sunrise over the canal. Close to the forest.
Beautiful spot, many people walking their dogs. Quiet night.
Perfect parking spot for one night — we were completely alone, apart from a few locals walking their dogs who greeted us warmly. The access road is a little bumpy but suitable for all vehicles.
Great place, with a short hike offering a magnificent panorama called “Pain de Munition”; otherwise, a walk or run along the canal lets you admire this beautiful area. Be sure to park on the canal side, in the parking area. Parking on the other side is prohibited because it may obstruct residents trying to get home.
Really wonderful by the water. We swam in it and saw people jumping into the water from the bridge. Bins and toilets would be great...
The road there is a little adventurous, but absolutely manageable with any vehicle. The place is really quiet; in the evening a few people come by walking their dogs.
We spent an afternoon and a very peaceful night here. Access is not difficult at all! Accessible to heavy vehicles (8.5 m). Please respect the parking restrictions and take your rubbish with you.
