Mont Mouchet, Mountain summit in Haute-Loire, France
Mont Mouchet rises to 1,497 meters in elevation, located at the intersection of three French departments: Cantal, Haute-Loire, and Lozère.
The mountain served as a strategic base for French Resistance fighters in June 1944, where 2,700 members engaged in battles against German forces.
A national monument stands at the summit, featuring sculptures of resistance fighters and an eternal flame dedicated to an Unknown Maquis soldier.
Visitors can reach the summit through marked hiking trails and observe panoramic views extending from the Massif Central to the Alps.
The mountain holds the eleventh position by prominence among 1,102 peaks in Lozère and eighth position among 842 peaks in Haute-Loire.
