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

If you like parks, views and old buildings, you shouldn't miss this park.

Run along the surrounding wall of the fortress, from where you will have a good view of the Armancon and the interesting defensive architecture.

La Grande Forge was built in 1786 by Count Buffon. The forge was used for processing iron and was located at a place where it could use the river and later the canals to transport goods and raw materials. Count Buffon built his castle nearby.

The old iron forge "Forges de Buffon" has been a "monument historique" since 1943 and is privately owned. In the 1920s it was used as a cement factory.

The moated castle of Époisses was built in the 14th century as a castle with an irregular hexagonal layout. The living quarters are located between the seven rectangular towers. Worth seeing is the pigeon tower in the castle park with niches for 3200 pigeons. If you cross the moat and enter the castle through the gate, you have the opportunity to visit the very beautiful and well-kept castle garden for 2 euros. A leaflet (French, English, German and Dutch) guides you through the facility with explanations. The private rooms can only be visited as part of a guided tour (currently 9 euros) at set times.

The Parc of Buffon was created between 1733 and 1742, above Buffon and offers a wonderful view over Montbard and the Brenne valley. The park is made up of 14 landscaped, varied, planted terraces and is free to visit. Adjacent to the park are the remains of the former castle of the Dukes of Burgundy, with its two towers, the 46m high Tour de l'Aubespin and the Saint-Luis, both from the 14th century. The Saint-Urse church and ramparts are located at the top of the park and the Buffon museum at the bottom of the park.

At a bend in the Bourgogne canal lies the "Grande Forgé", the large forge. Built in 1786 by Count Buffon, this was also the location for iron smelting, iron forging and iron processing. The water from the Armancon and coal from nearby mines powered the machines. The iron ore came from the Morvan. The products were transported away by river and road and later by canal. Blacksmiths flourished for a hundred years, after which they were no longer able to compete with the large smelters in Lorraine and elsewhere. Next to the smithy is Count Buffon's castle with an exceptional garden. Four blast furnaces stood along the canal in its day, all near iron mines. Today the work can be visited (8 euros entrance fee) and gives a glimpse of the time.
