Free parking with 5 marked spaces overlooking Barcelonnette, accessible on foot within minutes via trail or stairs. Slightly sloping terrain with stunning panoramic views of the city and mountains. No services available (no bins, water, or electricity). Very quiet atmosphere at night despite road proximity. Popular for overnight stays or breaks, easy access for motorhomes.

Motorhome access : Easy access for motorhomes, gently to moderately sloped terrain with semi-circular parking (no strict boundaries). Maneuvering possible but tricky with multiple vehicles.
