The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small free bivouac spot beside the Durance River, set back from the main road near Briançon. Two picnic tables, several flat parking spaces for 3-4 vehicles. Access is narrow and steep, somewhat challenging but passable. Beautiful mountain setting and river proximity. Highly mixed reviews: praised for natural beauty and quietness, but train noise, police issues and night disturbances reported.
Highlights
- Attractive mountainous natural setting
