ガティネ・フランセの天然記念物・トップ10

photo break for the cycling group.

The Corne Biche rock, perched in the heart of the Vosges massif, offers a spectacular view of the dense forests and surrounding valleys. This rocky promontory is surrounded by pines and firs, creating a wild and peaceful atmosphere. From the summit, the panorama stretches as far as the eye can see.

Not hard to see the elephant shape of the rock. Some nice paths and trails around.

The cyclops visit is not free, 12 euros entry but it lasts 45 minutes and is very interesting. Limit of 25 people at a time. Please note that photos inside are prohibited. I recommend the first visit at 10:30 a.m. (less crowded)

…without forgetting the famous “dog’s ass” 🙂

This sculpture, made of concrete and iron, represents the fantastic creature from Greek mythology which gave its name to the work. 22.5 meters high, the sculpture is a project by artists Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle, carried out between 1969 and 1994. On site, you can also discover two other works: the Face of Mirrors and the Tribute to the Deportees. Visiting all the monuments is completely free.

Standing in the heart of the Gâtinais, the Courances estate extends over 75 hectares and includes a magnificent 17th century castle as well as its park and vegetable garden. Closed during the winter, it opens its doors the rest of the year for fun visits. If you're not pressed for time, don't hesitate to drop by.

The Corne Biche rock is an emblematic rock formation in the forest of Fontainebleau. It is located in the area called “Trois Pignons” and offers panoramic views of the surroundings. It is a privileged place for sport in the middle of nature.
