Mont Renaud, Historic summit in Noyon, France.
Mont Renaud rises 85 meters above sea level southwest of Noyon, consisting of sand and sandy marl from the Ypresian period.
French troops defended this strategic position during March and April 1918 to prevent German forces from advancing toward Paris.
The site contains remains of a medieval monastery, which was converted into a castle in 1802 by architect François-Tranquille Gauché.
A memorial stone for the 57th Infantry Regiment, erected in 1954, marks the location of battles near the Mont-Renaud farm.
The ruins of the chapel destroyed in 1918 and the Christ figure from the former Passel calvary remain visible near the summit.
