Roc de Montalet, Granite summit in Lacaune, France
The Roc de Montalet rises to 1259 meters in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park, providing views of the Lacaune mountains and the Pyrenees.
Astronomers Delambre and Méchain used this summit in 1792 as a measurement point to calculate the distance between Dunkirk and Barcelona.
A 2.20-meter statue of the Virgin Mary, installed in 1882 on a 9-meter base, marks the summit as a pilgrimage destination.
The main hiking trail starts at Place Général de Gaulle in Lacaune and extends 19 kilometers with an approximate duration of 5h30.
The mountain features alternating moorlands and beech forests, harboring broom plants, blueberries, and gentians that bloom throughout the seasons.
