alchemille visited on 19th Apr 2016 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 4 Le Coeur Ballant or the Dancing heart is found in the wood near the village of Les Ballages, near Combronde in the Puy de Dôme, region of Auvergne. France
"This stone is one of those rocking stones still on its bedrock platform, and it wobbles with the help of a log, otherwise it is too heavy. It is also beautifully eroded in the shape of a heart."
