The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small parking at the edge of Bois Dieu forest, overlooking Avallon with clear views. Easy access, flat and shaded terrain. Ideal starting point for hiking and mountain biking. Popular with local runners and walkers. Bin available. Warning: recurring hornet issues reported. Suitable for smaller vehicles (practical limit 6 m).
Highlights
- Panoramic view over Avallon and the countryside
- Perfect base for hikes, mountain biking and walks
- Quiet at night, flat and shaded spot
Good to know
- Persistent wasp problems (reported stings)
- Parking is shared with locals (joggers, walkers) from dawn to late afternoon
- Small motorhomes only (max 6 m, otherwise parking at an angle).
Motorhome access : Flat terrain, easy access. Small tight space: motorhomes over 6 m must park lengthwise or crosswise, potentially blocking the way. Maneuvering tricky if multiple vehicles are present.
