The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free spacious area at the foot of Saint-Michel Mont-Mercure church, Vendée's highest point. 12 pitches on compacted earth, slightly sloped. Payable services (water €2, free emptying). Church tower access (199 steps) with 360° panoramic views. Bakery and restaurant nearby. Major drawback: church bells ringing every 30 minutes day and night. 10 minutes from Puy du Fou.
Highlights
- Stunning 360° panoramic view from the bell tower
- Spacious and free, ideal before/after Puy du Fou
- Friendly village with bakery and restaurant
Good to know
- Church bells ring every 30 minutes day and night (disturbing for light sleepers)
- Slightly sloped terrain (bring chocks)
- Public toilets sometimes closed out of season
Motorhome access : Slightly sloped dirt terrain, easy to maneuver. Bring wheel chocks. No height restrictions reported.
