The Camper’s take
Shaded forest parking at the entrance to the Pierre Caves, ideal for visiting the geological museum and Volvic spring. Peaceful in late afternoon, equipped with public toilets and covered picnic tables. Access restricted: a height barrier was installed in September 2024, limiting camper van access. Atmosphere varies seasonally (busy with school groups in summer).
Highlights
