Mont Noir
Mont Noir (Zwarte Berg in Dutch[1]) is a French hill 152 metres (499 ft) above sea level in Flanders, a few hundred metres from the Belgian border and a few kilometres from Bailleul. It takes its name from the presence of a high concentration of black pine woodland, which covers the hillside.
