Warning! We encountered the municipal police. This place is in a flood zone, and camping is also prohibited throughout the municipality of Bessans. The sign is torn down every day, but the prohibition is indicated. Risk of a fine.Translating
stayed here for three days, quiet, beautiful views on the mountain, lots of spots along the river, perfect! with our two phones, internet was limited (Bouygues) or inexistant (Orange)
Really nice for grabbing a bite! Recommended.Translating
This is the second time I have stopped here, one year apart. The space is much smaller than before following this year's flood... but the place is still great! Be careful, though: quite a lot of inconsiderate behavior... Please try to respect the good spots; they are becoming increasingly rare.Translating
Spot slightly below and to the right of the departmental road, along the river. Very beautiful place, even with the sound of the water. Room for everyone. The only drawback at this time of year is quite a lot of flies and a few mosquitoes.Translating
On the right, at the back, a beautiful spacious spot with a view of the river. Do not go left to the end when arriving, because the far end is infested with flies.Translating
Beautiful spot with a lovely view! River nearby, with the possibility of swimming for the more courageous! Peaceful. Not a great deal of space.Translating
Very quiet place, beside the river with mountain views. There were several vans, but there is enough room to tuck yourself away. Accessible path and close to the main road, but without noise. Bessans is a very peaceful and pleasant village. Recommended!Translating
