Mont Saint-Sébastien, Summit and free flight site near Autun, France.

Mont Saint-Sébastien is a summit near Autun rising to 609 meters with expansive views across the Morvan region and the plain below. Two transmission towers stand at the peak alongside designated takeoff areas for paragliding and hang gliding that face different wind directions.

On 16 June 1944, Bishop Lucien-Sidroine Lebrun placed Autun under the protection of the Sacred Heart and vowed to raise a monument to the heart of Jesus once the Germans were driven out. Construction of the Croix de la Libération began on 9 September 1945, and the first stone was laid by Gabriel Piguet, the bishop of Clermont who had been deported to Dachau. The cross commemorates the liberation of Autun in September 1944 after four days of fighting.

The summit's name day falls on 20 January, the feast of Saint Sebastian, though no chapel stands here. The plateau at 588 metres is a trailhead for downhill routes and a launch point for free flight, with the Croix de la Libération as its landmark. The cross was vowed by Bishop Lucien-Sidroine Lebrun on 16 June 1944, who promised to raise a monument to the Sacred Heart once the Germans were driven out.

The site is accessible by foot with multiple takeoff points adapted to different wind conditions throughout the day. Visitors should expect open terrain and changing weather, especially when observing flight activities.
