This location is reached by following the lane called Chemin de St Jean to the northwest, from the suburb of St Jean. A discontinuous ridge partially follows the east side of the lane. Explore the location in Google Maps. Zoom out: does the ridge continue to the north or northeast? Why is it discontinuous?
