The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Tolerated parking at the Frau shelter col, an astronomy observation site. Large, flat, grassy open area with stunning 360° panoramic views over the limestone plateaus. Access via narrow but lightly-trafficked road. Absolutely silent at night. No facilities (water, toilets). Must respect designated parking to avoid disturbing amateur and professional astronomers. Perfect for stargazing and visiting nearby Saint-Cirq-Lapopie.
Highlights
- Absolutely peaceful with exceptional nighttime silence
- 360° panoramic view over the Causses
- Spacious, flat, and open area suitable for all vehicle types
- Right next to a designated stargazing spot
Good to know
- No services: no potable water or toilets
- Very narrow access road, drive carefully on bends.
- Unusual evening traffic with parked vehicles hiding the site (meeting spot)
Motorhome access : Flat grassy terrain with plenty of maneuvering space. Access via the narrow D24 road with sharp turns—drive carefully. Best for low-profile, compact vehicles. Avoid in strong winds.
