thanks to Thierry Guéguen

Le Bout du Monde is constituted of a long overhang hidden under the trees, to the South-West of the classical area of L'Éléphant, on which difficult traverses have been opened. The overhang is long-drying and only practicable in summer in general. It is thus recommended during hot periods. Please respect the engravings at the bottom of the overhang!
Access : from the first parking lot coming from Larchant, follow the path for 150m up to a fork. Take the left path and go up : the overhang can then be seen on its left.
