History edit

In antiquity, Flavignerot was originally an ancient Gallo-Roman settlement under its Latin name, Flaviniacum. Its nearby summit Mont Afrique was a camp site called Camp de Cesar, where the Roman senator Julius Caesar never set foot on the peak.

In 1979, the Carmel of Dijon monastery was relocated from Dijon to a hill near Flavignerot.[3]
