Description
Parking du stade Gaston Coûté. Lieu très safe, une dizaine de places plutôt plates. Le périphérique passe à 50m, mais il est en déblai, donc pas trop bruyant. Rien d’exceptionnel, mais un parking qui fait l’affaire au besoin.
The Camper’s take
Free parking by Gaston Coûté stadium in Orléans, perfect for visiting the city center (15-20 min walk). About a dozen fairly level spaces. Quiet at night despite the ring road 50 m away. Good access for smaller motorhomes, though tight maneuvers depending on size. No facilities. Residential setting, though a few reports mention suspicious activity in evenings.
Highlights
- 15–20 minutes on foot from downtown
- Quiet at night
- Free access, no official restrictions
- Peaceful residential setting
Good to know
- No services (water, electricity, toilets)
- Narrow and complicated road access depending on motorhome size
- A few reports of suspicious activity in the evenings (possible drug dealing)
- Limited spots, parallel parking can be tricky
Motorhome access : Access via a narrow street (Rue Bleue is best avoided). Maneuvering depends on campervan size (6.5m long or 2.3m wide). Difficult to turn around. Parking possible lengthwise along the hedge.
