Pic de Luc, Mountain summit in Luc-en-Diois, France.

Pic de Luc rises to 1,038 meters elevation in the Drôme department, offering panoramic views across the surrounding Diois valley and nearby mountainous terrain from its accessible summit position.

The summit gained recognition during the 19th century when naturalists documented it as a notable observation point, while the surrounding region has been inhabited since medieval times with strategic importance for mountain pass routes.

The peak derives its name from the nearby village of Luc-en-Diois, which maintains traditional agricultural practices and local craftsmanship that reflect the enduring rural heritage of this French Alpine region.

Hikers can reach the summit via marked trails starting from Luc-en-Diois village center, following yellow triangle markers for approximately 90 minutes of moderate difficulty hiking with proper equipment recommended year-round.

The summit features informational panels detailing the geological formation process that occurred millions of years ago during local tectonic movements, providing educational insights into the area's ancient geological history.
