Been here?
This is a parking area beside the RAVeL path and Fort Battice, suitable for a stopover. The ground is slightly inclined, the road can be noisy, and construction has been taking place at the viewing tower. Toilets at the tower are accessible from 7h00 to 20h00, and the cycle path offers attractive views.

Nice place on grass, but the road is noisy. Toilets at the tower site are accessible from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Safe place.Translating
Construction of an observation tower underway. Parking remains fine.Translating
Perfect for one overnight stop. Somewhat sloping but very quiet.Translating
Ended up back here after touring and on our way back to Calais. Yes there were people chatting again till late but they kept themselves to themselves and it was quiet from 11. The cycle path is excellent and the views from it are stunning. Great stopover. Construction on the viewing tower from 6am this time however!
Stayed here for a peaceful night while passing through. Quickly accessible from the highway entrance and exit, which was convenient, and quiet at night. Ideal for this.Translating
We spent one night here after visiting the fort. Very noisy: young people in the parking lot, music blasting and pointless screaming at the top of their lungs. I do not recommend it at all.Translating
Quiet parking area. Due to a breakdown, we were unable to stay overnight.Translating
Parking for about ten vehicles. Slightly sloping but acceptable. In front of the old fort and at the start of a walking trail. Light traffic until 8 p.m. Quiet at night. Rabbits and birds. Light traffic in the morning from 8 a.m.Translating
Spend a night. Quiet (traffic as background noise). Not possible to visit the fort.
All vehicle sizes welcome and a very quiet night. Don't hesitate to visit the fort.Translating
Parking and taking a break were no problem. The police came by and told us that we were not allowed to sleep here. We drove on after eating.Translating
We spent the night here on Tuesday, July 25, 2023. Extremely quiet place, perfect for one night.Translating
The place is okay for an overnight stay, with good cycling and walking routes. Unfortunately, access to the bunkers was not open, so there was not much to see, but it is a quiet place.Translating
Excellent overnight spot. During the day the parking area can be full of cars, but in the evening it empties completely. Café, restaurants, bakery and supermarket within walking distance (under 1 km). Battice center is accessible via a cycle route. Although you are close to a busy road, it is not bothersome at night. It is very dark at night, with no lighting in the parking section behind the cycle path.Translating
