Quiet riverside parking, narrow access
D77, 12230, Lapanouse-de-Cernon
Been here?
This quiet parking area beside the Cernon has grassy and hard-standing spaces, both sunny and shaded, and is almost flat. Recent reports describe very calm nights beside the river and clean, recently renovated toilets in the nearby community hall. There are no showers or fresh-water facilities. Hiking trails start directly beside the car park, although village access roads are very narrow for long campers.

Very pleasant place with a very peaceful night, lulled by the river. Toilets at the community hall are very clean and recent. Many thanks to the municipality for allowing us to stay. Thank you all for preserving this place.
We had a very peaceful overnight stay with birdsong and the sound of the stream. The site has potential for overnight guests if showers and a fresh-water station were available for a fee. There are freshly renovated sanitary facilities upstairs in the building; I used them with a guilty conscience and would have liked to leave a donation if there had been a donation box.
Quiet place, perfect for sleeping.
Medium-sized parking area below a small village, beside a stream. Grass and paved surfaces, sun and shade, level, no facilities. Long campers are theoretically possible, but the roads through the village are very narrow. A wonderfully peaceful and quiet place during the week; completely silent in the evening. Village festivals are probably held here, so it could theoretically be different at other times. Several hiking routes start here. There is not much else in the village: no restaurant, bakery or shop.
Thanks to the municipality for this very quiet and clean place beside a stream. 4G is fine. Start of magnificent hikes. The only downside: an invasion of flies, perhaps due to the sewage-treatment plant?
Very, very good, peaceful. Thank you to the municipality.
Pretty and quiet for the night. But next to the sewage-treatment plant, with a few slight smells, and lots of tissues, toilet paper and faeces along the edge.
Very pleasant and peaceful place beside the Cernon when there are no activities in the departmental council hall. Hiking trails start from the parking area. Very clean and well maintained. It is up to us camper owners to leave it in this condition after our stay. That is the condition for being able to enjoy it again. No services.
Really far out, but absolutely beautiful. We were not quite in the right place because we arrived at night. It was still great.
Great location next to the river with ample flat ground. Water supply. Fossil hunting at the start of the trails. Be aware the gravel road - we needed a run up to get back to the top in the Motorhome even in the dry.
