Geography

History

Village formerly named “wentplonne” of Celtic origin, the final lonne indicating water, the source and the radical went meaning the valley.

The village is indeed built in a wet valley irrigated by many sources flowing in a brook length whose the dwellings are stretched.

In consequence of many errors of drafting in the registers of the commune, Wentplonne was transformed during time into Montplonne.

But there remains a long-lived souvenr of the old name, the inhabitants of Montplonne being called the bottoms muches, in local patois the wet, or wet bottoms.
