Montagne de Bard

Montagne de Bard, Limestone mountain summit in Côte-d'Or, France

Montagne de Bard is a summit straddling the communes of Marcheseuil and Manlay in Côte-d'Or, at the edge of the Morvan and the pays d'Arnay-le-Duc. It is one of six buttes in the area, alongside the butte de Thil and mont Rond. Its subsoil consists of clay and marl covered by hard Jurassic limestone.

The mountain was occupied in the Chassean period and later served as a relay between Bibracte and Alesia in Gallo-Roman times. In 1942 the Wehrmacht built an observation fortin here, destroyed by the Resistance in July 1944. A belvedere was erected on the summit in 2013 honouring the French Resistance and the 9,000 resistants of the Auxois and Morvan.

The summit's Belvédère de la Paix was erected in 2013 to honour the French Resistance and the 9,000 resistance fighters of the Auxois and Morvan. Its name comes from the Celtic barr, meaning height. Visitors can see the monument at the top, shared between the communes of Marcheseuil and Manlay.
