Hiking - SIGNES - The Stone Elephant

Discover the stone elephant in the kingdom of karst and its caves in the heart of the Siou Blanc plateau.

“It’s always a pleasure for me to come to the Siou Blanc plateau; the atmosphere here is unlike anywhere else, it’s a complete change of scenery. There’s always something new to discover and explore. The forest and rock intertwine to create spectacular formations. Water has carved the rocks into strange shapes, like this famous stone elephant. The people I bring here always leave enchanted.” Stéphane Auffret, mountain guide.
