Parc Buffon, Historical castle and museum in Montbard, France
The Parc Buffon extends over 5 hectares across fourteen terraces, featuring French gardens, English gardens, medieval gardens, botanical gardens, and vegetable gardens.
Originally built as a fortress in the 10th century, the castle underwent modifications by Georges-Louis Leclerc between 1733 and 1742 to create the current structure.
The park contains the residence where naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc wrote his influential works on natural history between 1749 and 1788.
Visitors can access the park throughout the year, while guided tours of specific buildings operate from April to September, except on Tuesdays.
The Saint-Louis tower houses a library established by Buffon, who transformed the medieval fortification into a center for scientific research.
