The Dard is a short (2.1 km) tributary of the Seille de Beaume in the department of Jura in France.[1] The Dard rises in the steephead valley known as the Reculée de Baume, and flows through the valley to the village of Baume-les-Messieurs, where it joins the Seille de Beaume. At its source there is a notable series of show caves, which can be visited.[2]
