The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small riverside parking spot nestled beneath a cliff, accessible only to vans and small motorhomes due to extremely narrow access road. Direct waterfront location with basic amenities (bench, bin). Located 1 km from Périgueux city center. Nights generally calm except weekends; some vehicle traffic and pedestrians during evening and morning hours. Manual ferry crossing available to reach town center. Mosquitoes can be an issue.
Highlights
- Exceptional setting by the water and below the cliffs
- About 1 km from the city center (access via manual ferry)
- Generally quiet night on weekdays
- Nice picnic and walking spot
Good to know
- Very narrow access, not suitable for motorhomes over 6 m or 2.1 m wide
- Cars passing by and evening/morning walkers, varying noise levels
- Late-night young people gatherings some weekends
- Lots of mosquitoes
Motorhome access : Access exclusively for vans and small motorhomes. Very narrow access road (under 2.1 m wide). Impossible for motorhomes over 6 m long. Tricky maneuvering. Parking on roadside or by the water.
