Ménez-Hom, Mountain and observation point in Finistère, France.
The 385-meter sandstone mountain stands at the entrance of the Crozon peninsula, offering views of Douarnenez Bay and Aulne estuary.
During World War II, the German forces used the summit as an observation post, while local residents helped 18 Allied airmen hide in nearby chapel.
The name Menez-Hom comes from Breton language, meaning mountain of man, and locals pronounce it as Ménéom without the z sound.
Visitors can access multiple hiking paths and paragliding spots, with designated parking areas located at 300 Chemin de Stang Ar Venig in Dinéault.
The mountain contains protected peat bogs and moorlands with gorse and heather, monitored by the Regional Natural Park of Armorique.
