Parking départ balade vers les ruines du Prieuré Saint Jean des Balmes
The Camper’s take
Forest parking serving as a trailhead for walks to the ruins of Priory Saint-Jean-des-Balmes. Generally sloping terrain but with flat pitches available near the priory or under the pines. Absolutely peaceful and shaded, ideal for hikers and nature seekers. Water point at the priory (potability varies by season). Mobile signal very weak except near the priory itself. Compliance with rules expected (fires prohibited, parking only tolerated).
Highlights
- Perfectly quiet deep in the forest
- Many pitches are well spaced and shaded
- Starting point for beautiful hikes
- Priory ruins worth discovering
Good to know
- Almost no mobile signal except near the priory
- The main parking area is sloped
- Processionary caterpillars present (health hazard)
- Priory water not guaranteed drinkable year-round
Motorhome access : The roadside parking is sloped; flatter pitches are available near the priory (via a short, rough road). Easy access for standard-sized motorhomes.
