How to get there by car: From Jalon , take the Jalon/Bernia road CV-749 which leaves the old town heading south (Note: there is something of a maze of one-way streets in Jalon these days, so you may have to drive round in circles to find the road!) After 1.3 km park on the right hand side of the road just after the road widens with a central white line and swings into left/right S bend. There is a nice shady tree and a house opposite.
