Perfect spot for one or two nights. Flat, level ground for several vans or motorhomes. The adjoining refreshment hut is open from Tuesday to Sunday all summer. The little lighthouse can be visited. Clean toilets and water available. Magnificent sunset over the fishermen's huts. We saw a few lights from last night's fireworks over Royan. (14/07) Thank you for the place.
A charming little spot, pleasant and restful nights, and the lighthouse keeper is very kind. We had an excellent meal at the refreshment hut.
Very beautiful site. Grass pitches reserved for motorhomes behind the refreshment hut, just before the lighthouse parking area. Magnificent view over the estuary with fishermen's huts. The lighthouse is not open every day of the week…
Émeraude 40 Very nice, quiet spot with a lovely view of the lighthouse and fishing huts. We spent one night here in November 2025.
Really great spot next to the lighthouse, with a steeply sloping access down to the grounds. Very good for walking and cycling!
This is our favorite place. Since we always come in the off-season, we park in the regular parking lot and have the place all to ourselves. Unfortunately, it rained this year on September 21, so we couldn't admire the starry sky. Thank you for always providing a clean toilet with toilet paper. We are happy to come back.
Very beautiful place, with a very warm welcome from the lighthouse keeper, as one would like to receive more often. Very well maintained, clean toilets, and the possibility of lovely walks along the embankment with views of the estuary and fishing huts. Very quiet nights and everything is well lit. It's a shame the refreshment hut is not operating. Thanks to the local officials for this beautiful place; keep preserving this magnificent site.
Parking at the foot of the lighthouse, very peaceful and ideal for relaxing, with clean toilets and covered picnic tables. Beautiful viewpoint over the estuary!
Friendly welcome and lighthouse visit. How peaceful it is to sleep near the fishing huts to the rhythm of the Gironde. Thank you to the municipality.
Don't hesitate to arrive before the lighthouse closes and talk to the “keeper.” He is very friendly and will point you to a nice spot around the site.
Super quiet spot.
Quiet, with plenty of parking spaces, water and toilets beside the lighthouse, and a small beach and fishermen's huts behind the dune.
A perfect place to spend a quiet, cool night beside the estuary. Go to the lighthouse to announce your arrival and you will be very well received!
Very pleasant place: shaded, flat and breezy (much appreciated during hot weather), with toilets, a water point and a refreshment hut.
Very nice, peaceful pitch at the foot of the lighthouse and near a refreshment hut, unfortunately exceptionally closed tonight. Flat grass; be careful during rainy periods. The lighthouse keeper is adorable. Very nice hiking nearby along the Gironde.
Great place, very practical for us as we were starting out with our rooftop tent. Flat ground, quiet night, access to toilets and water, and picnic tables. Magnificent sunrise over the Gironde and the fishermen's huts.
Excellent for the night and for walks along the Gironde.
A place just as we like them. Magnificent and free site. We spent a quiet night beside the Gironde. We also met a very friendly person who explained the history of this lovely region. Many thanks to the municipality.
Perfect, very pleasant. Make sure you are fully self-sufficient.
