The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Valley parking at 1,100 m altitude, ideal trailhead for Lac Bleu and Lac d'Ourrec hikes. Surrounded by restaurants and guest houses. Calm natural setting at night despite daytime traffic. No mobile coverage (SFR, Bouygues, Free). Livestock roaming nearby (cattle, horses). Access possible on both sides of the river with different vibes.
Highlights
- Hiking trampoline leading to stunning lakes with varied scenery
- Very quiet at night even when busy during the day
- Restaurants and inns directly accessible from the parking area
- Spacious spots on both sides of the river
Good to know
- No mobile coverage in the area (SFR, Bouygues, Free)
- Heavy daytime crowds (especially 9 AM–2 PM), parking often full
- Free-roaming livestock that may disturb at night
- Suspension bridge with a net in the hiking trail: not suitable for large pets
Motorhome access : Access possible from two sides; one bank is quiet (recommended), the other is noisy. River crossing possible but watch for rear overhang. Grass/field terrain. Tight maneuvering in small spaces.
