Signal de Saint-André, Mountain summit in Monts du Lyonnais, France

Located at 934 meters above sea level, Signal de Saint-André provides views of Lyon, the Alps, and the Pilat massif in clear weather conditions.

Cartographer César-François Cassini established a geodetic marker at the summit in 1744 during his mission to create the first detailed map of France.

The summit features a 30-seat outdoor amphitheater with a small stage where local performances and educational presentations take place throughout the year.

Access requires an 800-meter uphill walk from the parking area on D113 road, following the marked GR7 hiking trail near Saint-André-la-Côte.

The summit houses one of 53 French National Frequency Agency stations used for radio spectrum control and goniometric location measurements.

Location: Rhône

Elevation above the sea: 934 m

GPS coordinates: 45.63825,4.59324
