Pierre du Lit

The site is near Les Deux Frere. Opposite the Deux Frere track actually. We were told about it in Ambert and asked in Fournols at the market and they told us where to find it.

Park on the road opposite the track and walk into the wood 1/3 of a mile and then turn right. It has a sign post and you can't miss it.

Behind it is an opening through the trees. This is walled and there is another large stone you can see but I think it is just a big stone probably chipped away at to get the stone for the wall.

I found Les Deux Frere by accident and there was no sign or name connected to it but I called it that as that was the name of another hamlet nearby and when you see it I think you might think the same. If you know different please let me know or amend accordingly.
