モンバールの洞窟・トップ10

A wonderful place that takes you back in time and is historically important.

The cemetery is now located in the castle courtyard

Beautiful sight. But there is only a small sign. A visit is not possible.

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

The castle of Marigny-le-Cahouët is mentioned for the first time in 1189 when Hugues III, Duke of Burgundy, gave it to his son Alexandre, Lord of Montaigu. The castle was probably built at the beginning of this century. Over the following centuries, the castle was transformed into a fortress by its successive owners; among them the Villars, La Beaume, Avancourt and Orgemont families. Currently the Château de Marigny-le-Cahouët is a private residence and therefore cannot be visited.
