Description

Parking pour la visite du Château de Valon. ATTENTION ! Je déconseille au gros gabarits (plus de 7 m et encore) épingle à cheveux serrée et largeur limitée) point de vue sur la Truyère, la cascade du saut du chien et sur le château (visites le mardi et le dimanche jusqu'au 15 août après je ne sais pas). Parking un peu en pente, j'ai pu compenser par les cales.

The Camper’s take

Small hairpin parking lot serving Château de Valon visitors. Stunning panoramic views over the Truyère gorge and Saut du Chien waterfall. Very tight access with winding uphill road—unsuitable for vehicles over 7 m. No facilities. Tranquil setting ideal for short nature stays. Castle visits Tuesday and Sunday (until mid-August).

Highlights

  • Spectacular views over the gorge and the castle
  • Very calm and peaceful.
  • Secondary parking with room to maneuver

Good to know

  • Very difficult access: extremely tight hairpin bend
  • Not suitable for long vehicles (over 7 m).
  • Steep and narrow road with a significant parking incline

Motorhome access : Very difficult: very narrow and steep road leading to a very tight hairpin. Access via the first parking lot then mandatory U-turn. Complex maneuver. Only for small to medium vehicles (< 7 m). Can use chocks for the slope.
