Description

Parking départ de randonnée des gorges de l'Abîme, en bordure de RD 69. Attention très fréquenté en juillet et août. IMPOSSIBLE de se garer pour un camping-car. Trop étroit et risque d'y rester bloqué. A peine pour 10 voitures dans tous les sens. Allez au parking en dessous à 9 mn à pied et beaucoup de place.

The Camper’s take

Small free parking lot at the start of the Abîme Gorges trail, close to waterfalls and excellent hiking. Very busy in peak season (~10 vehicle capacity). Motorhome access reportedly difficult according to management, though some visitors contradict this. Beautiful setting with stream sounds, but extremely congested July-August. Overflow parking available 9 min walk away. Access closures possible due to maintenance work.

Highlights

  • Steps away from spectacular hikes and waterfalls
  • Enchanting natural setting with the soothing sound of the mountain stream
  • Quiet at night outside peak season

Good to know

  • Tiny parking area often full in July-August
  • Busy during the day with tourists
  • Difficult maneuver for motorhomes over 6m

Motorhome access : Tricky. Parking very tight depending on management (risk of blocking). Some motorhomes report access possible (6.20 m confirmed), but street parking required in peak season. Recommend using the alternative parking down below.
