There are benches and waste bins. Quiet at night. During the day, cyclists and motorcyclists often stop to photograph the view over the valley. We spent two nights here.
Nice overnight spot with a great view. Bins available. The place is very clean. By the way, it is true: a car came and honked at 6:43 a.m. :-)
This site has several advantages: it is quiet and offers an extraordinary view, all very close to Gordes, which is a highly touristic town. It is magnificent!
Great spot found by chance while driving. One other motorhome was already there. It is flat and easy to access, unlike the other natural spots around Gordes.
Lovely place with a beautiful view. The road is not busy at night, so overall it is very good. Only a bin is available. Very good for an overnight stop.
Wonderful view with an amazing sunrise. Very quiet at night. A forestry police officer told us about this place and said overnight stays are permitted.
Very beautiful and peaceful at night. During the week, a joker comes by every day from 6:40 to 6:45 and stops for a few seconds to honk, presumably to say good morning ;)
Lovely place to sleep. Plenty of space; there were three campers here tonight.
Very nice spot with a picnic table. We parked on the grass behind some trees rather than beside the road. Quiet night, apart from one joker who honked while passing at 6:45 a.m.
Great spot for a picnic, with five tables and a bin. Magnificent view. Some traffic during the day, but it should indeed be quiet at night.
We spent one quiet night here with a magnificent view!
Very quiet out of season (April). The view from the site is magnificent. A second area behind a line of trees offers privacy. Hiking trails start here. Very close to Gordes. The place was extremely clean. A great spot for our first night in a van!
Perfect for spending the night in April, with little traffic. Superb sunset view and an even prettier sunrise. Shaded, flat ground and picnic tables.
Very good spot. It is right beside a road, but it was very quiet at night. There was also enough grass for our dog, and plenty of bins.
About 2 km from the center of Gordes, where parking with a motorhome is almost impossible. On a hill with a nice view. Flat area with picnic benches, a table, and a waste bin. Beside the road, yet the night was quiet and peaceful.
We spent a peaceful night here; the view was great.
Right by the road but quiet at night. Great view and picnic benches to sit at. No facilities but perfect for a night.
Good place to spend a night.
We only drove past. Several motorhomes were there, with a beautiful view, but it was windy. Certainly a practical overnight option, although it is right beside the road.
Location is very convenient for visiting Gordes and the view is spectacular. There are no services, but there are a few flat spots to park. Locals didn’t care for people spending the night there and approx 10 vehicles honked as they passed during the night and especially early in the morning to express their disapproval at people using it for an overnight spot. Perhaps especially because a campground is very close by.
Nice, quiet place with a view of the Luberon. No prohibition on sleeping overnight. Beside a road with almost no traffic.
Although located beside the road to Murs, this is a very pleasant place for a stop with an overnight stay. Beautiful panorama. Plenty of space on grass or asphalt. Flat parking area, partly shaded, with picnic tables. Very little or no traffic at night. We had a very good night. Gordes is less than a 30-minute walk away. Superb hiking in the gorges starting from the motorhome.
Perfect for a picnic. Five tables and small bins with a beautiful view. Very windy, however, and the trees are still too small to provide shade.
Superb spot with an exceptional view. Certainly beside the road, but there is very little traffic. Very quiet night.
Magnificent quiet spot with an exceptional view and enough space for our heavy vehicle. Easy access, although slightly narrow for the short stretch alongside the town. Two motorhomes stayed here tonight.
Great night, with little traffic and no cars at all after 1 a.m.
Very beautiful spot with an incredible view. Close to the road but no traffic at this time of year.
Flat parking area with a very beautiful view. However, it is right beside the road. Picnic table and bin available.
We spent our first night in a van here with our two dogs. Great spot: quiet, very large, with a stone table and several bins. We were alone, and indeed there is no traffic on the road at night, so it was perfect. I recommend this place.
Excellent place to sleep and watch the stars. Just outside the village, quiet, with tables and bins (no water point). Very good for sleeping and stargazing. Not far from Gordes and very peaceful. There are tables and bins, but no water.
Attention: this is a daytime parking area. There is a note stating that overnight stays are prohibited and that the paid camping area at the nearby fairground should be used. Access to the water and swimming area is available. It is very close to residents, so we would only have stayed here as a last resort, since it was already very late. We drove on.
