Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

At the end of the street "rue de la Pierre Merlière" in La Motte-d'Aveillans, take the path in front, marked with a yellow hike panel. This path goes deep in the forest until arriving at the Merlière, old site of grinding wheel size. This walk is more destin to good hikers as the slop is important. The tallest ones would create some magic stories as the legend tells some human sacrifices ,were done upon this stone ! That's how the name of the the "Pierre Meulière" became slowly "Pierre Merlère".
