Le Village, 26510, Saint-May
Been here?
This parking area near the Rocher du Caire provides access to griffon and monk vulture observation points, but the narrow, very winding approach is difficult for motorhomes and intended for small vehicles. The parking is steep, with only a few relatively flat places, and trees obstruct the view from the area. Clean dry toilets are available, but there is no bin or water. The vulture viewpoint is about 10-15 min on foot, with quiet surroundings.

I gave it 5 stars because we were able to park in the nicest corner, just to the left when entering the site. Very clean dry toilets, and lots of vultures within arm's reach!Translating
Narrow and very winding access road. No view because the trees block it. The area is mostly very uneven, except for two or three spots. If you want the view, you have to walk another fifteen minutes or stop a little lower at another spot.Translating
Very pleasant, peaceful place with a dry toilet.Translating
Pleasant place if you can get into the nook on the left when arriving. Almost level. Lovely walks nearby; the ridge walk is really enjoyable! And what a view! Access not recommended for motorhomes.Translating
We have a 7-meter truck and maneuvered very easily to access it.Translating
The access road is easy in a van but seems difficult for even small motorhomes. Dry toilets are available in the parking area; the downside is that there is no rubbish bin or water point, not even one for filling your bottle. A viewpoint for observing vultures is 10–15 minutes on foot, very easy and flat to the tip of the rock. Superb spot—the vultures fly right over your head!Translating
Site not recommended for motorhomes: difficult access with maneuvering around hairpin bends. Vehicles cannot pass each other for 3 or 4 kilometers. It is much easier to see the vultures from Remuzat. It is also much easier to park in Remuzat and walk to Cairo Rock via the trail.Translating
