(39200) Saint-Claude - Pont de la Pipe

This is the 3rd time I have spent the night in this flat, gravelled car park. So I am surprised that it is not listed on Park4night. Arrive via Rue du Plan du Moulin, cross the Pont de la Pipe, renovated in 2023. This large car park, with a picnic table, is immediately on the right. There were municipal police officers present when I arrived, so parking is allowed and free during the day and night, right in the centre of the lower town. I preferred to park at the very back so as not to obstruct access to the premises. But no one... All shops nearby. Total calm on the banks of the Tacon River. Sunrise (and moon!) under the arch of the large bridge Don't miss the cathedral stalls, open on request at the tourist office, the pipe and diamond museums, the abbey... and the entire upper town to visit on foot. Many walks in the surrounding area.
