Mont Saint-Cyr is located in southern Burgundy (Saône-et-Loire department) in the municipality of Montmelard and, at 771 meters, is the highest point of the Mâconnais mountains. From the summit, there is a wide panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes of Charolais, Brionnais, and Clunisois. In very clear weather, the view extends eastwards to Mont Blanc in the Alps. On the mountain are the historical remains of a 10th-century monastery, which was destroyed during the Huguenot Wars. There is a picnic area in the forest as well as orientation panels that are helpful in identifying the surrounding peaks and valleys.
