Stayed here overnight. All facilities are available. Nice and clean. We were not bothered by the train. You can walk straight into the town. We had a delicious meal at the Vietnamese restaurant—highly recommended. Frans and MaritaTranslating
The site is located between a very busy road and the railway line. Of course, there is no notice board displaying the price—that would be asking too much.Translating
To enter, you have to spend at least €15: €5 for a card that remains active for life, plus €10 credit for one day. We arrived at 11:30 p.m., and at 6:30 a.m. we tried to leave, but the barrier would not open. After spending more than 20 minutes trying to get out, I topped up another €10 and finally the barrier opened. So now there are €20 on the card. Customer service was unavailable at that time.Translating
This parking area is fairly convenient for visiting this beautiful town. Everything works well, but be careful when it is hot because there is no shade at all.Translating
the machine says to try my debit card again and again. I finally get in. I later check my bank and find I have been charged 8 times. I ring the car park company and they say I have paid nothing. the next morning I cannot leave and have to pay again. so nearly 150e for one night. I will be able to get bank to challenge this but it's not good
Just a parking area, on asphalt. No bins, wedged between the road and railway line, with 2.5 m between motorhomes. €16.32 anyway, getting more and more expensive. CCP, flee.Translating
Very mediocre parking area, expensive for what it is. Paying for this kind of site when there are much better options nearby is ridiculous. It was also recently renovated, apparently to the great delight of elected officials. Welcome to the van-life era, where we are no longer free and are packed together, with surcharges on top. We are supposedly happy and say nothing. Well done to the people who pay and encourage this kind of concept to spread—I stand by what I say.Translating
Well located. View of the citadel. Close to the town center and 100 m from a bakery. SNCF station next door. Quiet even though the parking area is between the railway line and the road (very few trains, none at night). We slept well there for two nights. The only issue is that there is no household-waste container, only recycling bins in the square above.Translating
Just three months ago I passed through and spent a night here, and everything was free. Today I was unfortunately surprised that, despite some empty spaces, the area was shown as full. What a shame—it was a regular stop and I liked the place. Now it is harder to park and spend the night in this town.Translating
Everything brand new and everything works. All pitches are spacious. No shade.Translating
A well-located parking area for visiting the town; the facilities seem fairly recent. All services work (with the access card). There are very few trains, so they are not much of a nuisance. On the other hand, the road is very busy and therefore somewhat noisy.Translating
I passed by today, January 24, 2026. Unfortunately, nothing works.Translating
We slept well; no train runs at night.Translating
Unlike the other red area, where we arrived at 9 p.m., the downhill entrance was completely icy and the camper could not get through. We diverted here: sheltered, warm, spacious, close to the town, and above all, since it was not working, free. Only one train passed at 6:30 a.m., and it caused no problem. Highly recommended. Only gray-water disposal and a general-waste bin are available.Translating
Rather quiet; two or three trains passed, but the night was fairly calm. All the electrical hookups were occupied when we arrived. We were able to empty the gray water, but the black-water and fresh-water hookups did not work.Translating
Spent one night here; the payment machine was broken, so it was free. It was quiet at night. The town is quite attractive.Translating
Very close to the town. Today parking is free. Electricity is too expensive. Since parking is free, I understand that water costs €3.50. The trains do not seem bothersome. The last passenger train is at 10 p.m. and the first at 7:40 a.m. Freight trains—I don't know.Translating
Pleasant motorhome parking area. Close to the town (5 to 10 minutes on foot). Relatively quiet. Good value for the price.Translating
We parked here to visit the citadel. Payment at the parking area did not work, but water and electricity did. The citadel is definitely worth visiting!Translating
Payment worked fine on the Flot Bleu touchscreen machine.Translating
Noisy parking area but well located for visiting the town. We spent one night.Translating
The only place where we could park to visit the town. There was no space left in the designated bays because they were already occupied. We parked behind them, like others did. We paid the €7 even though we stayed only three hours. It is still cheaper than a possible fine!
Except for 3 bays along the fence line. the rest are far too close to each other for comfort (3*). Electricity is expensive at €5.20 for 4 hours and multiples thereof. 10 min walk into the town which is well worth a visit. The views from the Citadelle are spectacular and worth the effort. Some train noise until late and they start early (06:00) but I’m a retired railwayman so no problems
OK for an overnight stop with easy access to town. Proximity to railway not a concern. It was actually free when we stayed
What a terrible site—cramped and noisy, all pitches overcrowded, just awful. We got the last pitch, and even the electricity did not work. The fortress is farther away. One night and we quickly left.
It has the merit of existing. Very noisy parking area.
Thank you to Sisteron. Paid services, relatively quiet parking area, and above all very convenient for visiting the citadel, which I recommend.
Very convenient on the main road, very close to the historic center. Services are paid. Recommended.
Flat motorhome parking area. Easy to find and well located for visiting the town. Token-operated electricity: €5.20 for four hours. Quiet night.
