Roche qui Tourne (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.

Please read our ethics page.
From Paris, take the exit Milly-la-Forêt on the motorway, then the D372 in direction of Milly, turn left at an unpaved road to the opposite of Courances, and park the car at Le Carrefour de Montignotte. Follow the GR which turns right at a barrier; the sector is on the left of the path after a bend to the left and another one to the right. The first boulders can be seen after hives and those of La Montignotte are just on the other side of the path.
