We leave Confolens for Saulgond and we take D51 near the church of Saulgond. After 3,7 kms at a crossroads with D351 to Brigueuil we take this road on the left and we found "La Vallade"; after the hamlet on the right we find the two standing stones at 100 m in a cropfield. It's possible to mistake them for a bush because the greatest is covered by ivy.
