Elephant, Rock formation in Larchant Forest, France
The natural stone structure presents a remarkable silhouette of an elephant, formed by sandstone blocks within the forest environment of La Commanderie.
The rock formation belonged to a collection of stones previously identified as the Justice Rocks, marking geological transformations through different periods.
Local climbing enthusiasts maintain several color-coded routes around the formation, creating a grading system from beginner to advanced difficulty levels.
The formation stands near hiking trail GR 13, providing clear access points for visitors who want to examine the geological features up close.
The sandstone blocks create six distinct climbing circuits, with specific markings indicating various technical challenges from white to black difficulty levels.
