Approach notes

From the A75 at junction 12, head towards Orbeil on the D9, then, after crossing the river Allier, turn left onto the D14 towards St. Babel. Follow the road up onto the plateau and pass through the village of Naves. Just after (ca. 800m) leaving Naves is a turning on the left signposted Paille. Follow the road for about 2km passing through some woods, a first clearing with meadows, until you come to a second clearing with meadows either side of the road. On the right, a forest track will lead down the edge of the wood (on right hand side) to parking. As these are farm tracks, park sensibly so that agricultural equipment can get through if necessary. The parking area leads to an obvious track which winds it way down the ridge of the hill to a hollow in which the crag is to be found.
