Updated June 2026
Free parking by the Tarn river, shaded, 300 m from Gaillac town centre. Complex access rules: only non-shaded area permitted overnight; parking forbidden 18h-8h according to reports. Noisy hydroelectric plant opposite. Popular during Lantern Festival. No facilities. Narrow circulation, difficult access for larger motorhomes (limit ~7 m). Birds singing at dawn.

Good to know

- Hydroelectric plant noise across the Tarn River
