Lots of spaces, under the trees or in a gravel parking area; very little traffic on the road in the morning. Possibility of fishing in the pond; day permits can be purchased. Dry toilet.
Peaceful place beside a very quiet road. The area needs a little cleaning; remember to leave it clean behind you. Slight slope, ideal with children and dogs because there is a large space next to the pond. Dry toilet and picnic table available. Parking around the lake is forbidden. We thank the municipality for making this idyllic place available.
Quiet place with a beautiful view nearby. We enjoyed it and will return on our next visit.
Very small, peaceful pond. Be careful not to park in front of the post at the end of the pond; the caretaker came to scold us in the morning (apparently it is access for firefighters, but it is not signposted). Fishermen arrive from 7:30 a.m., and walkers also come in the evening and morning, but otherwise it is peaceful.
A small, peaceful spot in nature beside a pond. Nice for a stopover. Picnic table and dry toilet. Please respect this place.
Great spot in the middle of nature. Very quiet despite being close to the road, which has very little traffic. The ground is slightly sloped, but it is easy to find a place. Dry toilet available, very practical.
Sign prohibiting motorhomes.
Perfect for a quiet night, easy access.
Very nice place to spend a night! Quiet, with a small fishing pond and very little traffic on the small road. Very pleasant shade from the trees during an otherwise very hot day :)
A very quiet night (5 August 2024), with very little passing traffic. Unfortunately, there are no bins, but there are three picnic tables.
A good night's sleep. Some traffic on the road during the day, but nothing at night. Nice place; we chatted with a very friendly local! Ideal if you have a dog... a few fishermen in the morning. Parking is in the upper section; parking below by the water is forbidden. One dry toilet, but no bins, unfortunately. Thanks to the municipality for allowing free access!
Quiet, shady, lots of space for parking.
Very quiet place with walks nearby. Little traffic on the road. The dry toilets are almost clean. Fishing is possible in the pond (€5 for 2 rods per person per day, or permits for longer periods).
