モンティニー-モンフォールのおすすめランニングルート

Magnificent stone bridge which spans the Brenne in the center of Montbard. The bridge is paved, and offers you splendid views of both banks and the river below.

The city lies on Brenne and the Canal de Bourgogne. The area was already populated in ancient times. During the time of the Gauls there was a Druid community here. In the Middle Ages a town developed around the castle. Aleth, the mother of Bernard of Clairvaux, was born at the castle in 1070. The settlement received city rights in 1231. While the castle was a secondary residence of the Dukes of Valois from Burgundy, it was besieged in 1590 by the Count of Tavannes, who fought the Duke of Nemours on behalf of the French King Henri IV. The Canal de Bourgogne opened in 1833. In 1926, Montbard became a sub-prefecture by the decree of Raymond Poincarés.

Beautiful old town on the Canal du Bourgogne; Castle hill with Gothic town church; campsite with outdoor swimming pool; Starting point for tours in the area, especially to Fontenay Abbey

Old church from the 12th century, with a small cemetery, closed to visitors, but still picturesque from the outside.

Another historical monument built in the 12th century; it is closed to visitors for the moment.

Flat and pleasant route along the canal with a view of certain areas of Montbard, notably the tower.
