The path that leads to Pierres Jaumâtres, a must-see in Creuse, begins at the car park. At the top of Mont Barlot, around forty large granite blocks stand in an improbable balance. The site is the subject of numerous legends: place of sacrifice or even altar of the Druids. When using the trail, take care to slow down when approaching other users.
