Thanks to the town hall. Isolated spot. 2 spaces. For vans or motorhomes up to 7.30 m. Paved ground, slightly sloping. Bins nearby. With a picnic table and an outdoor museum with explanatory tables about the Battle of Poitiers, which took place in the field opposite. Normally very quiet, except on our night when teenagers on holiday came to party until 2 a.m. without consideration for the neighbors.
Quiet place with a beautiful view over the countryside. The battle exhibits are not very interesting.
Quiet and clean place with a view and access to the outdoor museum of the battlefield. Maximum 4 spaces for vans and small motorhomes (access road restricted to vehicles under 3.5 tonnes).
Great place to finish the day and spend the night Very quiet and undisturbed (at the end of a lane) 2 motorhomes 100 m farther on Magnificent 180° panorama over the fields The outdoor museum of the Battle of Poitiers is an added bonus Household waste and recycling Starting point for hiking and cycling Ford Nugget Plus van: 2 adults, 2 children aged 5 and 8
Great views, 6 Mt vans only we are 7.3 had to overhang into field .up at dead end norow Road. love it
a must do for history fans but nothing extra as a parking. is quiet at least. few places
Nice, peaceful place with a lovely view over the melon fields. Table available for eating, bin present. A road right next to it but with no traffic at all. We spent a lovely night here in the van.
Small parking area; it feels a bit cramped and tight. We only had dinner there, but preferred to go elsewhere for the night because we did not feel comfortable.
A very peaceful night, no services apart from bins, but a nice view. The open-air museum about the Battle of Poitiers is very educational and helps you better understand the significance of this historic site. A lovely stop on the way west.
Hello, great night on April 23, 2023. Be careful if you go onto the grassy area: position yourself between the table and the fence, as the ground is stabilized. I left this morning without any problem despite the wet ground. Good spot
