Parking by the lake Villerest

Updated June 2026

Small wild parking on the edge of Villerest Lake, along the volcanic Loire. Very steep, sloping terrain accessed by a challenging dirt and stone track. Suitable only for small vans and short campervans (6 m max). Picnic table and bin available. Stunning views, quiet on weekdays, but visited by anglers and hikers during day/evening. Weather-dependent: muddy and slippery ground in rain.

Motorhome access : Very steep and narrow path over the last 50 meters, gravel and loose stones. Only suitable for short vans (6 m max) in dry conditions. Slippery and wet in the rain. Recommend parking higher up if wet or with a large vehicle.
