Coquibus Auvergne (Sensitive biological reserve)
Coquibus is a particular and very sensitive part of the forest which must be treated with the greatest respect by visitors. Its status as a biological reserve allows you to climb there but this could one day be called into question due to too many visitors or irresponsible behavior. We ask climbers to limit their presence or otherwise their impact in the different areas of Coquibus as much as possible. In particular, do not go in groups, do not climb after sunset and do not use electrical devices (drones, fans, radios, etc.). Reduce chalk to the strict minimum, erase all traces of your passage and finally do not brush new boulders. Avoid leaving the paths and keep your dog on a leash from April to July.
Coquibus is an area of relative tranquility and rather spared until now, which should continue to be taken care of, abstaining from any equipment. The choice was made not to develop anything at Coquibus because of its ecological value (source ONF: Aménagement des forêts domaniales de Fontainebleau et Trois Pignons).

This sector is located on the South-East of the Coquibus area. It is constituted of several groups of boulders around the Chemin de la Mare de l'Auvergne and are accessible from the parking lot of la Feuillardière.
