The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Expansive col parking with magnificent panoramic views over the Gapençais range. Flat, generous space for multiple vehicles. Dry toilets available. Prime hiking hub with excellent trailheads including a 3.5-hour trek to Saint-Philippe summit viewpoint. Peaceful overnight atmosphere despite daytime hiker activity. Challenges include persistent wind (north wind notably), seasonal fly presence, no shade, and shared use with day-trippers.
