L'Angle Allain Boulder problem 6A 1

Originally graded VI but downgraded with modern shoes. 5+ for a period but now considered 6a again.

L'Angle Bens Boulder problem 7A+ 1

Named after Uncle Ben's Microwavable Rice! There was an old french marketing slogan which said

Parce qu'il cuit grain par grain le riz Uncle Ben's ne colle jamais! Because it's cooked grain by grain, Uncle Ben's rice never sticks!

In font, climbers refer to the grippy conditions you get on cool, dry days as collante [sticky], but on this problem these conditions never happen due to the slick nature of the rock. [1]

La Prestat (pre-break) Boulder problem 4 1

One of the earliest known boulder problems recorded in the forest. Jacques de Lépiney was trying the problem with Louis Prestat, when Jacques succeeded he decided to name it after Prestat.

A large part of the crack subsequently broke, making the problem easier. The problem is currently rated 3+ after hold breakage.

La Princesse Assise Boulder problem 8B 1
La Reine des Bois Boulder problem 7C 1

A formidable high arête, an equal to its neighbour Miséricorde, yet rarely repeated.

L'Arête de Boissy (assis) Boulder problem 8B+ 1
L'Arete Possible Boulder problem 7A+ 1
La Révolutionnaire (original) Boulder problem 8C 1

Superseded by the lower start La Révolutionnaire.
