Mont Rochard, Mountain summit in Mayenne, France

Mont Rochard rises to 357 meters in elevation, forming the highest point of the Coëvrons massif near the town of Évron.

During the French Revolution, the nearby commune of Sainte-Gemmes-le-Robert adopted the name Mont Rochard, reflecting its regional significance.

The Roman fortress of Rubricaire, constructed on Mont Rochard's slopes, provided strategic control over the entire Laval basin region.

The mountain features multiple hiking trails through forests and pine groves, with access available via the D20 road between La Glatterie and Villiers.

Since 1972, a television and radio broadcasting station occupies the summit, serving as the main transmission point for the Mayenne department.
