Mont Noir (Zwarte Berg in Flemish[1]) is a mountain 152 metres (499 ft) above sea level in the mountains of Flanders, a few hundred metres from the Belgian border and a few kilometers from Bailleul. It takes its name from the presence of a high concentration of black pine woodland, which covers the hillside. The mountain is on the border between Belgium and France, and depends upon the commune of Saint-Jans-Cappel.
Location
Three municipalities share Mont Noir, Saint-Jans-Cappel and Boeschepe, both in France, and Westouter in Belgium. The summit is located entirely in France.
