The Saint-Pierre Cross at the Saint-Just megalithic alignments

It’s a short walk suitable for children and ideal for families, whatever the season.
This short circular loop runs along the western side of the Allée des Demoiselles de Cojoux, offering a view over the Étang du Val.
Adults can extend the walk by heading east to see the famous Demoiselles de Cojoux and the Alignements du Moulin.

Finally, it’s well worth rounding off the walk by exploring the magnificent Allée Couverte de Tréal, which is just a 3-minute drive away.
