Village parking, noisy nights
76 Rue des Vieux Chênes, 80150, Forest-l'Abbaye
Been here?
Small village parking area beside a church, farm and forest, with a narrow entrance and passage. The original listing allows motorhomes up to 7.30m and 3.50m high, but larger vehicles are discouraged. There are no services, and church bells, barking dogs, tractors and other activity can make it extremely noisy, especially at night.

As the other reviews suggest it’s very tight, and extremely loud. The church bell is quite pleasant, but there are dogs barking all night. If you’re in the area and desperate to stopover like we were then it is OK.
Very narrow entrance; avoid for large motorhomes.Translating
Small parking area, accessed via a small road, with a narrow passage to get there; two other vehicles in the end. Very early: bells, a dog barking a lot, tractor, people talking loudly and shouting outside... Good if you want to get up at 6 a.m. So-so, an isolated spot without peace and quiet. Update: and lots of chainsaw noise!?Translating
Great place to spend the night......went for a lovely walk with the dog and even spotted a deer.Translating
Good place to spend the night. Near a farm and small forest. For people sensitive to noise, the church rings regularly. It did not disturb our night. We recommend it.Translating
Small parking area in the village. Walks in the forest. Be self-sufficient and discreet. Next to the farm. Dog, tractor. Slept well.Translating
Small, nice, restful place. It should nevertheless be noted that you can hear the church even at night, and especially for those reliant on digital services, there is no network coverage...Translating
Beautiful, peaceful place without unnecessary extras...Translating
Wonderful quiet night’s sleep - only one other van here. Woke up in the sunshine to the sounds of church bells, birds and cockerels, next to pretty old farm buildings, a hay barn and a field surrounded by forest. Lovely spot in a pretty and quiet rural village close to Abbeville.
We had a very peaceful night. Not recommended for vehicles over 7 meters.Translating
No services of course but a beautifully quiet, undisturbed night in a gorgeous village. Entrance may be tight for a big vehicle but we were fine in a 6.3m x 2.2m motorhome. Enjoy the birds and church bells, and a wander in the nearby forest.
Very difficult access for larger vehicles. I did not drive onto it.Translating
