Some lovely long routes just above Ailefroide.
Some privately owned climbing areas may have restricted access. Check with https://www.ffme.fr/
In Ailefroide, just past the guide shop and before you cross the bridge over the Torrent (eastward), there will be a small left turn. Take this, drive about 100m, then park in a grassy area on the left. There is an obvious climber's trail heading up from there -- hike up it. The slab of the Les Etoiles sector will be obvious -- either branch left (Riviere Kwai area) a bit below the slab, or skirt around the right side of the slab then scramble up and left to the base of the other climbs (may need to cross compact snow in the spring/early summer).
Rappel.
Park where indicated, take care of the environment, buy the local guidebook when possible (this is one of the ways you can help local route setters), clean up your shoes before climbing, don't spray beta, be polite.
