rising to c. 2800m in N Rouen Mountains (q.v.), W of Roberts Ice Piedmont, N Alexander Island, was probably sighted by BeAE in February 1898 (Lecointe, 1905, p.99-100); roughly mapped by FAE, 1908-09, in January 1909 when the name Massif Paris, after the city of Paris, was applied collectively to this feature and to the two mountains on its SE side, which were reported to be separated by a deep depression from the Rouen Mountains (as then defined) to the S (Charcot, 1912, Pl.1).

Conspicuous mountain, c. 2,800 m, 4 mi SE of Mount Bayonne in N Alexander Island. First mapped by the FrAE, 1908-10, under Charcot, who named it for the French capital. Resighted in 1936 by the BGLE and charted as mountains, but subsequent study of air photos taken by the RARE, 1947-48, has caused the name to be restricted to this single mountain.

El nombre fue dado por la Expedición Francesa del Dr. Jean B. Charcot 1908-1910 y aparece en su diario publicado en París en 1910. Grupo de montes que se extienden 8 millas hacia el SE del monte Bayne, situado en la parte N de la isla Alejandro I, en bahía Margarita. En la cima de los montes París se destacan tres picos, el más alto de los cuales se eleva a 2.900 metros.
