The "place" being France.

First of all, Gérôme Pouvreau has made the FA of La Madone, a ~50m 9a+ at a secret crag somewhere in the Luberon national park. The route is a combination of two 8c+'s with a good rest between them. One of the routes is Les grand Daltons a route Adam Ondra felt was rather hard for the grade when he did it last year.
On his blog, Gérôme comments that the route is long, beautiful and hard, unfortunately the exact location is a secret...
