Mont Saint-Romain, Natural summit in Saône-et-Loire, France

Mont Saint-Romain reaches an elevation of 579 meters in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, offering views of the Clunisois and Haut-Mâconnais areas.

The oratory of Mont Saint-Romain was transferred to Cluny Abbey in 927, establishing a significant religious presence on the mountain.

At the mountain's base, the Fontaine du Plâtre spring hosted pilgrimages where people performed rituals, washing their eyes and drinking water to cure fevers.

An orientation table, installed by the Touring Club of France in 1948, helps visitors identify notable landmarks visible from the summit.

The state-owned Grisons forest surrounds the mountain, covering 557 hectares across four municipalities with both deciduous trees and conifers.
