Take a stroll through the woods and meadows, follow the specific signs,
and be Bérold de Saxe. To bring your ploy against the Marquis of Suse to
fruition, you find yourself venturing into this enchanting forest, dotted with
majestic pine trees. Squirrels discreetly escort you, looking faintly amused
at your antics. As you advance along Sentier des Biches (Deer Trail), you'll
approach Le Monolithe, an awe-inspiring pillar of limestone. 93 metres tall,
this giant is hard to miss!

To guide you in the field, consult the "step-by-step" directional diagram provided in pdf.
