106 Chemin du Sequoia, 69490, Vindry-sur-Turdine
Been here?
Picnic spot at Madone de Saint Loup with stunning views over the Saône valley and Beaujolais. Very calm and isolated, even in summer. Water point, trash bins, and picnic tables provided; pines offer shade. Terrain is very rutted and uneven—risk of getting stuck. Access routes vary; the easiest path is past the church from Saint-Loup village; avoid the shorter dirt track unless in a 4×4.

Magnificent picnic area on a hill with a view of the neighboring villages. There was nobody there in the middle of July (the weather certainly helped). The place is nevertheless remote. There is a water point and a rubbish bin—no excuses for leaving litter.Translating
Magnificent place to stop, very quiet, with a water point a few metres away. Just avoid the route suggested by the app, which is impassable in an H1L1 van; go around via the surrounding streets.Translating
Very beautiful spot. Rather quiet, despite a few people coming to eat there in the evening. The view is magnificent, and the water point is useful. From the village of Saint-Loup, follow the signs for the picnic area.Translating
Great spot with a superb view over the Saône Valley and the Azergues. There is a water point and a rubbish bin, plus two wooden tables. A few parking spaces are available. Peaceful place; a few cars come to enjoy the view.Translating
Nice place, but not recommended for a large motorhome. The hill is probably impassable in winter. The ground is very uneven and full of bumps, with a risk of getting stuck. There is a water tap, but it does not work.Translating
Beautiful quiet spot. Reached it in our 8m MH, but don’t attempt route from the south. Go past the church and take the route from there. Very simple.
Magnificent, superb view, quiet, not a sound. Very good for one night. Do not forget to take your rubbish with you; there is some around the tables. I recommend it.Translating
Superb pitch with a magnificent view, very quiet, with a water point, rubbish bins, picnic tables, and easy access. Great :)Translating
Beautiful view, quiet and shaded, with a drinking-water point. A few flat pitches. Two or three vehicles were there when we visited in mid-August.Translating
Superb view and two tables. Water tap. Fires prohibited.Translating
Great place—very beautiful viewpoint, picnic tables, fir trees for shade, and, in addition, a tap with fresh water. Be careful with access, as there are two ways to get there: the shorter one is very rough and impassable without a 4x4.Translating
Superb place. Quiet. Beautiful view. There is a water point. Plenty of space, allowing everyone some privacy. Thank you to the Madonna for welcoming us! You need to go around the back and not take the dirt track shown in one of the photos; it is more convenient.Translating
Magnificent spot with a superb view, lots of curious wild rabbits wandering through the nearby small woodland and around the van. Give it a try! And maintain it—take your rubbish with you!Translating
Place with magnificent scenery. Unfortunately, suspicious comings and goings made us leave on Friday evening.Translating
Superb quiet and clean place. Water and a rubbish bin available, magnificent sunrise, and a peaceful night.Translating
Clean and quiet pitch. Apart from us, there was a French person sleeping in a tent; we slept in the car. Working, drinkable water.Translating
Flat ground, a beautiful view, space, and peace under the fir trees. Quick access from the motorway for a one-night stopover. A second access route goes around the steep slope from behind. We could not get up the slope with our Trafic.Translating
Access via a rocky slope of approximately 10%. We turned back.Translating
Very good spot, beautiful view, pine forest, picnic tables, and access to drinking water. Fairly flat, especially at the back. Expect some picnickers in the evening; we also had a suspicious truck in the morning. We picked up the litter from the ground.Translating
