Shaded parking in Balaty state forest Ars-les-Favets

Updated June 2026

Forest parking in Balaty state forest, 300 m from D2144 highway. Multiple shaded spaces, well-maintained trails. Very quiet setting with minimal road noise. Good for walks with dogs. Warning: camping strictly forbidden; wet weather access challenging due to narrow stream crossing; tight maneuvers for camper vans.

Motorhome access : Damp ground with a slippery, narrow stream crossing the track; difficult to turn around; best for small, lightweight vehicles (L2 traffic)
