Mont Rond, Mountain summit in Côte-d'Or, France
Mont Rond is a mountain summit in Côte-d'Or that rises to about 475 meters above sea level. The slopes contain established trails suitable for hiking through forests and open areas.
Mont Rond is a butte, a rounded hill, straddling the communes of La Motte-Ternant and Fontangy in the Côte-d'Or. The sources record no medieval landmark role or navigation function; its history is that of a boundary hill shared by two rural parishes of the Morvan edge.
Mont Rond lies astride two communes, La Motte-Ternant and Fontangy, so the butte is shared ground between neighbouring villages of the Côte-d'Or. Its name, "round mount", describes the rounded shape walkers see on the skyline rather than any peak.
The hiking trails are accessible throughout the year with reasonable conditions for walking. Spring and summer provide the most pleasant weather for longer walks and nature observation.
Mont Rond is a wooded hill, not a high summit, straddling the communes of La Motte-Ternant and Fontangy in the Côte-d'Or. Its position on the boundary between two communes means walkers can pass from one to the other without leaving the slope.
