Been here?
Free lakeside parking by Fabrèges with spacious flat dirt lot and beautiful views. Water (5€ token) fills about 100L but flows slowly; dumping is free. Services are 300m from parking; buy tokens at bakery (opens 8am), restaurants, or tourism office. Quiet from 23:00–5:30 but heavy daytime car traffic. Cable car and village within walking distance.

Not bad, beautiful view, a shame it is so isolated! Quiet from 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. because of heavy car traffic. Emptying facilities available when there are no railway vehicles parked there.Translating
We stayed one night before taking the train. Plenty of space to park beside the lake. You can walk to the cable-car entrance, although there is no sidewalk along the entire camping area. After 6 p.m., you can buy the token at one of the restaurants in the square.Translating
Shameful to charge €5 for 100 liters of water at 1,200 meters above sea level, where water literally flows everywhere! You are really taking advantage of the few tourists you have...Translating
We were able to empty the cassette for free. Excellent. Well located, as we slept beside Lake Fabrèges. Extremely quiet.Translating
Thank you for allowing motorhomes to park for free in such a beautiful location. A few hundred meters from the village and cable car. We took precautions so we would not need to use the water. Unlimited parking duration.Translating
Two stars because the service point exists, but it is impossible to use because you have to buy tokens at the tourist office or at the restaurant "Le Petit Lurien," and both were closed. No possibility in that case. The price is also excessive.Translating
Very good for filling up with water and emptying wastewater; two service stations. One token gives 20 minutes, approximately 80 liters of water. €5 for all services. The token is sold at the restaurant near the Artouste tourist office, just 300 meters away.Translating
We stayed overnight on 27/08. Be careful! The tourist office closes at 4:30 p.m. Tokens can be purchased at the shop (bakery). Large, flat dirt parking area. Be careful! It says it has services such as emptying, filling, and electricity. The services are not in the overnight parking area; they are 300 meters away. If you intend to connect the vehicle to electricity while staying overnight, forget it.Translating
Nice to be able to empty and fill up.Translating
Good service point for filling and emptying the motorhome! You do need to get a token in advance farther away. Get the token at the tourist office or the bakery next door. We could not quite fill 100 liters, so do not waste water if you need more.Translating
The token is purchased at the shop selling bread, pastries, and cheese, which opens at 8 in the morning. With the €5 token, we filled 100 liters in 6 minutes and could still have added more. Emptying gray and black water is free. The rating is because I find the price somewhat excessive. Prepare everything before inserting the token so the time is not wasted. Timed.Translating
The indicated location cannot be accessed by a motorhome. Next to the service post there is a designated motorhome parking area along the road. Along the sides of the Fabrèges reservoir, you can spend the night and park; at night the main road is not bothersome. There are also streams where clean water can be collected. The Artouste cable car and train are impressive.Translating
Magnificent setting, quiet, respect between motorhomes and vans, free parking where you can spend the night, and access to the Artouste little train on foot.Translating
€5 for possibly 40 liters of water is a rip-off.Translating
Avoid it, a rip-off. It is cheaper at Camping-Car Park: €6 for the services and five hours of parking. I didn't know that, and now we can even fill the water containers. I know where to go now.Translating
€5 for water for 10 minutes, when in reality it is no more than 5 minutes!!! I did not have time to fill my tank or the jerrycan! Avoid it! Far too expensive!!!Translating
Yesterday we refilled our water there. The token costs €5, but it was not enough to fill our tank. It is purchased at the tourist office and can be paid for by card. Perfect for emptying gray and black water.Translating
This is not a parking area, only a place for emptying and filling. The first photo does not correspond.Translating
