The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Flat parking at the entrance of Réal village, overlooking Lake Puyvalador. Starting point for a 2-hour lake loop hike. Water and waste facilities nearby in the village. Light traffic on adjacent minor road. Guinguette restaurant adjacent (June-September). Main drawback: church bells ring every hour, including at night, disrupting sleep.
Highlights
- Magnificent and accessible 2-hour hiking trail around the lake
- Peaceful setting with views of the lake and mountains
- Guinguette with great atmosphere, quality meals, and seasonal concerts
- Flat terrain, easy access, suitable for large motorhomes.
Good to know
- Church bells ring every hour, including at night, very disruptive
- No shade on the parking lot
- No services available on site (water and bins in the village 150m away)
- Lake sometimes dry or unsuitable for swimming
Motorhome access : Easy access. Flat grassy terrain. Great spot for large motorhomes and trailers. Simple maneuvering.
