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

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.

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.

A masterpiece of 18th century industrial heritage, it is made up of a unique architectural ensemble. A magnificent witness to the scientific genius of the Age of Enlightenment!
