Montbard
Côte-d’Or · France
Birthplace of the naturalist Buffon, this small industrial town in Burgundy's Côte-d'Or sits on the Burgundy Canal and the river Brenne, with TGV connections making it an accessible base. The nearby village of Buffon holds the Forges de Buffon, ironworks Buffon himself established. A modest café and restaurant scene serves the town centre, and several UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider region.
