Leonidio La maison des chèvres
Mostly steep and hard, this big cave does have an interesting shelter for the goats, and some easier routes on the flanks. However, it is the hard routes that attract, and they are excellent. The crag faces South and so can get hot. It is set amidst lovely rocky mountain scenery.
