Description

En pleine nature, sur le bord d'une route qui mène au plateau de Saint Laurent et au rocher du Caire, lieu d'observation des vautours. Route étroite (largeur d'un camping-car) avec quelques virages en épingle à cheveux. 2 tables de pique-nique, quelques chemins qui mènent à des fermes, une petite chapelle juste au-dessus et une randonnée de 12,5 km possible depuis ce lieu.

The Camper’s take

Small natural parking at elevation on narrow winding road to Saint-Laurent plateau, with outstanding panoramic views. Quiet location ideal for vulture watching and hiking (12.5 km possible). Access very challenging for motorhomes: hairpin turns requiring maneuvers, width-limited. Legal status unclear (conflicting reports on camping ban). 2 picnic tables, chapel nearby.

Highlights

  • Breathtaking panoramic view in absolute tranquility
  • Excellent nighttime peace and quiet with vulture sightings
  • Magical spot for stargazing

Good to know

  • Very difficult access for motorhomes: hairpin bends and mandatory maneuvers
  • Narrow and winding road. Risk of meeting oncoming traffic.
  • Ambiguous camping legal status with recently posted no-parking signs

Motorhome access : Very tricky: narrow hairpin road requiring reversing even for vans, 6m motorhome width limit. Access recommended for vehicles ≤6m only. Parking along the road.
