Franchard Sablons Carriers    

  • Author: Jo Montchaussé

This is the central part of the Franchard Sablons area, which gathers the boulders around Le Mur des Carriers, Voltane and l'Abri Bivouac. From the parking lot of Isatis, follow La Route des Gorges de Franchard to the West. For the dynos of Le Mur des Carriers, take La Route du Bornage just after La route du Louvard. For the other problems, take a small path up the slope at the crossing with Le Chemin du Bois des Buttes 200m further.
