The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free parking in the moat of Mont-Louis citadel, perfect for exploring this authentic walled medieval town and ramparts. Access under archway (minimum 3.30 m high). Grey and black water tank emptying available under arches, but no drinking water since 2023 (water restrictions). Calm and wind-sheltered spot. Small shops and bakery nearby. Warning: services closed in winter, maintenance inconsistent.
Highlights
- Unique setting beneath the citadel, peaceful and idyllic
- Free grey and black water disposal (hard to find in the area)
- Easy access for large motorhomes, currently free parking.
- Picturesque visit to the fortified village with nearby small shops and the Yellow Train
Good to know
- No drinking water since 2023 (regional restrictions)
- Services closed in winter, cleaning and maintenance inconsistent
- Access under a 3.30m gantry; restricts taller vehicles
- Urban vibe with little appeal for those seeking pure nature
Motorhome access : Great access for large motorhomes (8m tested). Flat and stable terrain, spacious parking under arches. Easy maneuvering but mandatory passage under a 3.30m clearance arch.
