Narrative

Este monte fue levantado por primera vez, aunque en forma aproximada, en 1909 por la Expedición Antártica Francesa de 1908-1910, al mando del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, quien le dio el nombre, presumiblemente por la ciudad francesa del mismo nombre. Monte de 2.347 metros de altura, situado sobre la costa oriental de la isla Alejandro I, a 12 millas al NW del cabo Brown.
