Mont Sinaï

Mont Sinaï is a summit in the Montagne de Reims Regional Natural Park near Verzy that rises roughly 286 meters above sea level and overlooks the surrounding plains. The hill features marked trails that wind past concrete observation structures built during the 20th century.

During World War I, this summit served as a strategic observation post where Allied forces monitored German positions in the region. The concrete structures from that era were later recognized as historical monuments.

The site carries a biblical name that references spiritual history, though today visitors experience it primarily as a natural location within the regional park. The remaining structures tell a story about how this place held meaning for different generations.

Visitors can arrive from the Pine Tree parking area in Verzy and explore the trails throughout the year, as access routes remain open in all seasons. There is no entrance fee, and comfortable shoes are recommended for walking the marked paths on the hillside.

Many visitors overlook the fact that the remaining observation chambers still offer a panoramic view across the region as if keeping watch today. Standing inside these structures gives a real sense of how soldiers once surveyed the landscape from this position.
