Mont des Cats is a small hill (alt. 164m) near the town of Godewaersvelde, in French Flanders. Its name in Dutch is Katsberg. It is the seat of an abbey 〔(Abbaye du Mont des Cats )〕 bearing the same name, famous for the cheese produced by the monks since 1890. On top of the hill there is an antenna that reaches a height of 364m and transmits both television and radio signals: * it emits FM at 500 W * and has 3 x UHF 80kW emitters for television The antenna provides part of the Nord Pas de Calais digital television (DTT). The traditional feast of Saint-Hubert is held on the third Sunday in October. == Origin of the name == The name has nothing to do with cats, but is derived from the name of a Germanic tribe known as Chatti (French: ''Chattes''; Dutch; ''Chatten''), living in the area after the fall of the Roman Empire (5th century).〔(History of Mont des Cats ) on abbey website〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mont des Cats」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
