The Bois Noirs (French pronunciation: [bwa nwaʁ], lit.'Black Woods') Forest is the highest point of the Livradois mountains, at an altitude of 1,215 meters.[1] The absolute summit of the massif is also called Signal de Mons.

Located in the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park and in the Puy-de-Dôme department, its summit, in the heart of a coniferous forest, does not allow for a panoramic view of the regional natural park.[2]
