Our tips for parking in Najac
- Closest to the fortress: the closest will be the car park located on the forecourt of Saint John's Church but few places are available… You will have to arrive early to have a chance (Access strictly forbidden to long vehicles such as motorhomes)
- To discover the village: the most suitable car park will be that of the Sol del Barry or the village hall (just below). This V-shaped plot is not recommended for vehicles that are a little long, such as motorhomes.
- At the water's edge – to go hiking: la races, and its huge little-known car park, offers plenty of spaces. It will certainly be your ideal starting point.
- For a picnic and panorama: le Planquette car park combine all these options! However, it will take 5 to 10 minutes to walk to reach the tourist office before starting your discovery of the village.
- Motorhome friends: to be as close as possible to the village, go rue de l'hiversenq. Access by Sol del Barry square. Attention, we advise you to leave by this same place.
