Cuvier : white ED+ (n^o 5)

Area description

This very popular and accessible area is situated alongside the N7 (the road between Fontainebleau and Barbizon), 1 kilometer away from (the bivouac of) Barbizon. Park at the big parking lots of the Carrefour de l'Épine, available at both sides of the road. A pedestrian tunnel is available to get you to the other side of the road, if you are coming from Barbizon; you can't make a U-turn on the road here. The first boulders are already visible from the road.
