Menhir of Pilard.

Once you are out of the village you walk into the forest where you find the menhir of Pilard. Then it goes towards the hamlet of Anglard where you cross the Corrèze. Via the foot of the Puy de la Force you enter the hamlet of Chadebec with its water mill. From there it goes back to Bonnefond with its church from the fifteenth century.
