Mont Saint-Cyr is located in southern Burgundy (Département Saône-et-Loire) in the municipality of Montmelard and, at 771 meters, is the highest point in 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 to the east even extends to Mont Blanc in the Alps. On the mountain are the historical remains of a 10th-century monastery that 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.

Great walk. Beautiful view with picnic tables and tap with drinking water. However, NOT an easy walk. You must be able to walk well.

This priory church is classified as a historic monument. It was built between the end of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th. Its octagonal bell tower is characteristic and the church is among the most beautiful expressions of Romanesque art in the department. The sculptures are particularly numerous.

A very steep climb from Montmelard, not much fun by bike. View is good, best very early or in the evening.

This summit houses a chapel, but it was previously a strong defensive position. From the Arab invasions in 730 to the successive Norman and Hungarian invasions, this stronghold has resisted. It was not until 1180 that the fortress fell into the hands of King Philippe Auguste, who destroyed it but spared the chapel. The summit offers magnificent views.
