La Pierre du Sang is found in Lachaux, Puy de Dôme. It's a "pierre à cupules", a cup marked stone.
It is easy to find if we follow the yellow marks for the hiking trail around the rocky hill called le Rez du Sol. The hicking track starts in the village of Murat, following the D63E. Once in the hamlet of Chez Cartailler take the D43, turn right and immediately left at a crossing by a cross, then take the second on your right and continue up to Chez Le Pinon, from there take the path on the left to the Pierre du Sang (it is sign-posted).
