The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Spiritual rest area at 1110 m altitude near Noirétable, run by nuns. Grassy, sloped parking behind the convent, very quiet and isolated. Access to clean toilets (9am-6pm), small café and souvenir shop. Starting point for GR3 hiking trails with magnificent views and remarkable sunrises. Welcoming, meditative atmosphere. No water or waste services for motorhomes.
Highlights
- Extremely peaceful and natural, spiritual setting
- GR3 hiking trails with stunning panoramic views
- Warm welcome from the sisters, clean toilets
- High-altitude mountain air with stunning sunrises.
Good to know
- Parking on a slope, muddy in bad weather
- No motorhome services (no water, dumping) on site
- Access restricted to visitors of the Hermitage; long-term use uncertain
Motorhome access : Grassy parking lot on a slope behind the convent. Muddy when wet. Possible but narrow and tricky maneuvering depending on vehicle size. Avoid if ground is very waterlogged.
