The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free, quiet parking near the petrified caves with direct access to the Loire à Vélo cycling path leading to Villandry castle. Picnic tables and bins at the rear. Warning: overnight parking (22:00–07:00) is strictly prohibited and recently enforced, despite inconsistent enforcement. Uneven surface with potholes. Ideal for daytime visits to the troglodyte site but unsuitable for overnight camping-car stays.

Good to know
- No overnight parking (10 PM–7 AM): strictly enforced
