Mont Dardon, Mountain summit in Saône-et-Loire, France

Mont Dardon is a summit in Saône-et-Loire rising to 506 metres, shared by the communes of Issy-l'Évêque, Uxeau and Sainte-Radegonde. At the top, a weathered stone cross stands on a stepped base beside a circular orientation table marked "TABLE D'ORIENTATION DU MONT DARDON" and "ALTITUDE 771 M". Two further crosses stand at the summit.

Jacques-Gabriel Bulliot identified the site in 1856, and Xavier Garenne led the first excavations in 1865. Henri Parriat revealed a Bronze Age level between 1965 and 1975, opening the way for Carole Crumley's digs from 1976, which uncovered an Iron Age centre. Excavations found two 1st-century ramparts, a chapel from the second half of the 10th century and an 11th-century square tower; the remains are not visible.

The three crosses at the summit have arms pointing toward the three parishes that share the mountain: Issy-l'Évêque, Uxeau and Sainte-Radegonde. The first crosses were set up in 1855; two were felled by violent winds in 1890 and replaced in 1892 by oak crosses from each commune. In 1935 they were rebuilt in reinforced concrete, and the inauguration drew a large crowd, recorded on a postcard.

The mountain has a parking area and picnic facilities for visitors who want to spend time outdoors in this location. Multiple hiking trails are well-marked and lead upward to the summit, with routes varying in difficulty depending on which path you take.

Since March 2017, a radio transmitter for Fusion FM 94.7 has occupied the summit, broadcasting across southern Morvan and the Charolais region. This modern addition shows how the location continues to serve as a point of connection for surrounding communities.
