Mont Rome, Limestone mountain summit in Saône-et-Loire, France
Mont Rome rises to an elevation of 546 meters within the Morvan massif, featuring multiple hiking trails across its limestone formations.
The mountain served as a crucial location for the Paris-Lyon-Milan telegraph line, hosting one of the Chappe brothers' relay stations from 1807 to 1853.
Since 2000, the mountain hosts Les Nuits du Mont Rome music festival during summer months in a reconstructed ancient theater setting.
The summit is accessible through the southern slopes, offering multiple marked paths that lead visitors to panoramic views of the Autunois region.
The mountain's name connects to Roman mythology, referencing Romulus and Remus through its alternative designation as Mont de Rème.
