Approach notes
As of 01/02/2022, access to the "historic" parking lot of the cliff is no longer possible, its access having been closed by the NFB. A 20-minute approach walk is now to be anticipated. A parking area is possible on a small roadside parking lot located 100m higher than the access road to the cliff.
The new Parking information is:
Forêt Domaniale de Mervent
D 99 A
85120 Vouvant
France
Only a few exceptionally authorized groups can access the old "historic" car park, subject to prior agreement by the ONF.
If you find the access barrier open, or closed but not locked, please do not enter it with your vehicle (as indicated on the signs at the entrance to the path): you may find yourself locked inside at the end of the climbing session...
If you have any questions about the reasons for the closure of access to this car park, please contact the ONF directly.
No Access Issues
Access to parking now closed. Multiple signs stating climbing is currently prohibited. See photo of sign (May 24)
