Mont Cindre, Summit in the Monts d'Or range at Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d'Or, France
Mont Cindre reaches an elevation of 470 meters and offers views extending from Lyon city to the Saône Valley and the Alpine mountain range.
The slopes of Mont Cindre were traditionally covered with vineyards before modern residential development transformed the landscape over several decades.
The 14th-century hermitage chapel on Mont Cindre serves as a gathering place for local artists who display their works through exhibitions.
A designated parking area at the base of the relay tower provides convenient access to marked trails that wind around the mountain slopes.
The radio transmission tower at the summit of Mont Cindre functions as a primary visual reference point for the entire Lyon metropolitan area.
