Shaded river beach, afternoon crowds
6 Rue des Prés, 70100, Velet
Been here?
Paved beach parking on the Saône with 8 spaces (plus 1 disabled), marked for vehicles up to 6m. Very quiet at night but busy with swimmers, fishermen, and cyclists in afternoons; fills quickly in summer. Saturday early-morning fishermen gather. Shaded, flat, with trash bins and river views. Bakery 1km away (often closed).

Family atmosphere in the afternoon: swimming, sunbathing, fishermen and a motorbike, but everything remains good-natured. At 11 p.m., complete silence and a night accompanied by frogs. On Saturday morning at exactly 7 a.m., it is the fishermen's meeting point! The paved parking area fills up very quickly in the late afternoon. If needed, a space is available farther away by following the blue path, not far before the red barriers.Translating
Very good, quiet night.Translating
A beautiful place. Eight regular parking spaces and one disabled space. Up to 6 metres fits well, as that is how long the spaces are marked. It could become very crowded in summer. Today we are enjoying the peace and quiet. A few anglers are here.Translating
Nice place for van or smaller camper. We were lucky that the whole parking places were empty and we parked our 7,5 meter camper in 3 car parking. Otherwise our camper wouldn't fit. Very beautiful view at sunset.
quiet place near the river
Lovely place for walking, peaceful (although some noisy young people were nearby despite a large grassy area behind them), good for anglers, almost flat parking, and a large grassy area. Bins in the car park. Bakery 1 km away, unfortunately closed on Monday morning, and the next one 4.4 km away was also closed. Finally, swimming is prohibited, which is a shame.Translating
Very quiet and lots of space, great for one night!Translating
Very quiet place, flat and for many vans (up to 7-8). We loved staying here last night and enjoyed the beautiful banks of the river in the morning.
Peaceful, clean place beside the Saône. A very friendly camper-van neighbor. Cyclists and walkers, but very respectful and polite.Translating
Pleasant end-of-day stop and peaceful night. Lovely view of the Saône, shaded spot, birdsong—everything needed to feel good. Very clean.Translating
Very pretty countryside spot beside the Saône. We woke to birdsong. Flat, with bins on site. Very quiet night. Walkers and cyclists appear in the morning. The locals are very friendly and never hesitate to say hello.Translating
