Small free parking (4 motorhome pitches plus separate car park) at the foot of two historic slag heaps in France's mining region. Level, stable ground; access via Rue du Quai de Vente (unreliable GPS). Easy to challenging hikes on terrils with outstanding views. Supermarket and laundry within 5-minute walk. No on-site facilities (no bins or toilets). Very quiet location, popular with hikers and dog owners.
