Géant du Manio is well sign-posted. Pierre Carrée du Manio can be found on a vague path running W into the trees, starting from the path opposite the Géant du Manio. The Pierre Carrée du Manio is in a small clearing 20m down the path.

It's deliberate squared shaping marks the 90 degree angle of a 3:4:5 triangle in relationship to La Dame and Geant Du Manio stones, marking the Summer Solstice sunrise to La Geant.
