Le Reculet, Mountain summit in Thoiry, France
Le Reculet stands at 1717 meters elevation, featuring limestone cliffs and steep slopes in the eastern section of the French Jura Mountains.
Local farmers established pastoral activities near Le Reculet starting in 1340, marking the beginning of human presence in this mountainous area.
Four residents of Thoiry carried an iron cross to the summit in 1892, where it remains as a symbol of local determination.
Hikers can start their ascent from Tiocan at 860 meters, following marked trails through forest paths to reach the mountain peak.
The mountain provides views of Lake Geneva, Mont Blanc, and the Alps, with chamois frequently spotted along the limestone formations.
