With the monolith in your sights, it's off for a walk in the forest!
But this is no ordinary forest, inhabited by strange creatures...
Frozen in their aerial posture, Aussoyen sculptor Serge Couvert's characters follow one another in a wooden farandole. Here an embracing family, there a Moai straight out of Easter Island, further on a chain of benches to sit on for a moment.
From one work to the next, let yourself be carried away by the artist's universe. Touch the smooth wood and rough bark of local species, smell the scents of resin and sap.
Admire the grace of creations that are at home among the trees.

Savoie Mont Blanc's choice
What on earth is that weird rock jutting out of the pine trees like a finger
pointing at the sky? Let's go and see! The path leading to this monolith
is strewn with carvings, apparently dropped into the forest by some
mischievous giant. Maybe you'll even come across him...
