We passed by today; it was out of service!Translating
Service area out of order on May 15, 2026.Translating
This is a three-space service area with facilities. Parking is allowed for 24 hours. It does the job when passing through on National Route 7.Translating
The water was not working
There are certainly better places. There is room for at most three motorhomes. No drinking water, only wastewater disposal is possible.Translating
Beautiful place at this time of year. Obviously no water, but that's not a problem. It is very charming and located in the old village.Translating
We only emptied the gray water. Black-water disposal was not possible, out of service! Parking is prohibited during school periods.Translating
Lovely sleepy village. Narrow access road. The water connection and toilet emptying were not accessible, perhaps permanently or because of winter. Nice village shop with restaurant-bar!Translating
Great place for the night. Unfortunately, the weather was not inviting enough to visit the village. The water and black-water disposal were closed. The bins are at the entrance to the village toward the N7.Translating
Practical place for passing through. The ground is not level. The site is lit and has benches. Waste disposal was fine. Unfortunately, there are no bins; they are near the main road. You can hear the train and the church bell every half hour. You can walk a short distance toward the cemetery with the dog.Translating
Very quiet location, but it did not look very inviting to us.Translating
Very peaceful night. Thank you to the municipality.Translating
I was looking for a rest area and saw this one, which has an exceptional rating of 4.10, but the first two comments make you want to do anything except go there... what happened, bro???Translating
Uneven ground. Infested with mosquitoes. The bells ring every half hour until at least 1 a.m. A group of youths gathered under the streetlights at midnight, listening to music, and one of them banged on the motorhome door—adolescent foolishness. Water is dispensed via a push button. Pros: children's playground, hiking trail starting 100 m away, pizzeria 10 minutes on foot.Translating
Disgusting, revolting, dirty place with no maintenance, and on top of that you cannot even connect to fill up with water.Translating
Very quiet place, well suited for an overnight stay. Access is only suitable for smaller motorhomes and vans, with very narrow streets. During the week you must leave by 8 a.m. because it is the school-bus parking area and otherwise you obstruct the buses.Translating
Flat paved parking area near a school. Black-water disposal is possible, and drinking water is available.Translating
We spent a quiet night. The approach is relatively narrow but manageable. The tap is for patient people, but the watering can eventually fills. Gray-water and toilet disposal were trouble-free. Beware: parking is prohibited on school days, so you must leave before the school buses arrive. School starts at 8:40 a.m., Monday to Friday. Maximum stay: 24 hours.Translating
Attention: motorhome parking is prohibited during the school term. A sign mentions this, but we arrived late in the rain to spend the night without seeing it. Several motorhomes were already parked. The next morning, people dropping off their children were unhappy, and a school bus had to maneuver in front of the school to leave.Translating
We only stopped to change the water, but it seems like a quiet place to spend the night. The only drawback is that the tap has no thread and is push-operated.Translating
Very quiet place where you can spend a perfect night. The village is tiny; the bells ring every hour, but you hardly notice them. There is a place to empty and fill water.Translating
Really wonderful, quiet, sleepy little village with a great overnight parking area. You should support it fairly with donations so it remains clean and beautiful for everyone for a long time. Really beautiful—we would gladly come back.
We had a very good night, lulled by the sound of frogs. Very quiet place. Many thanks to the municipality for this peaceful stop.
We spent the night in this very quiet parking area. There were plenty of spaces, but beware: during the school term, only a few spaces are reserved for motorhomes. We left at 7:30 a.m., so we did not cause any inconvenience to the school arrivals or by occupying a space with our motorhome. Thank you to the municipality for this authorized area. We did not need to use the facilities.
We spent the night in the parking area. Unfortunately, at 2 a.m. we were woken by a loud noise; we think someone hit the vehicle. The church is nearby and the bells do not stop at night! The space near the house is somewhat noisy because the house boiler regularly starts up and makes noise. Otherwise, the parking area...
Thank you to the municipality. Quiet place to rest for one night.
Water flow very low, turkish toilet is very dirty, all places are occupied. It was nice spot for visiting the village, we didn't stay overnight, it was too crowded. 18.11 edit: We came here for the 2nd time and again - the toilet is seriously very dirty, the water flow is still very low and not a space to sleep. Only 3 parking spots which are always already taken by oldies with SAt TV out.
