Mont Pinçon, Summit at Plessis-Grimoult, France
Mont Pinçon reaches an elevation of 362 meters, making it the highest point in the Calvados department of the Normandy region.
During the Battle of Normandy in 1944, Mont Pinçon served as a crucial strategic position for Allied forces during Operation Bluecoat.
The mountain stands as part of the Armorican Massif and represents a defining feature in the geography of Norman Switzerland.
Hiking trails lead visitors to the summit where a transmission tower broadcasts radio and television signals throughout the region.
A broadcasting antenna exceeding 200 meters in height, installed by RTF in 1956, stands at the peak of Mont Pinçon.
