Table des Sorcières
Table des Sorcières submitted by Alta-Falisa : Side view. September 2016. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A flat stone, unique of its kind in the region and supposed to have been dragged in this "natural" wood.

Solid documentation seems scarce, but is supplemented by far-fetched (?) explanations.

Although it looks like a millstone, you wouldn't expect to find one such stone in the wood, even along a small stream.
Signpost at (50.6263, 74.2148), then a 250 m walk downhill along a well-marked and wide track.

Table des Sorcières
Table des Sorcières submitted by Alta-Falisa : This large outcrop, some 15 m uphill, also plays a role in the mysteries / legends surrounding the "Table des Sorcières" (Witches' Table) -- but this would drag us too far. September 2016. (Vote or comment on this photo)
