The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Picnic area at the confluence of Cher and Loire rivers, Touraine region. Two zones: tables on upper level (quiet roadside), lower area accessible via hairpin turn. Flat grassy terrain. Very peaceful atmosphere with water and bird sounds. Some trains pass on viaduct but not bothersome. Carossable access (stone path then asphalt). Ideal for solitary nights and tranquility.
Highlights
- Extremely quiet, lulled by water and birdsong
- Drivable access for small to medium motorhomes, large high area available
- Very clean and well-maintained
- No restrictions — free to park overnight
Good to know
- Access from below via hairpin bend, tricky when wet or reversing
- No shade in the afternoon
- No amenities (water, electricity, toilets)
- Risk of getting stuck during rainy periods
Motorhome access : Easy access for motorhomes up to 7–8 m in the upper area (cobblestone then tarmac road). Lower area’s hairpin bend problematic in damp conditions and tricky maneuvering; not recommended for large vehicles or in bad weather.
