Montbard (French: [mɔ̃.baʁ]) is a commune and subprefecture of the Côte-d'Or department in the Bourgogne region in eastern France.
Montbard is a small industrial town on the river Brenne. The Forges de Buffon, ironworks established by Buffon, are located in the nearby village of Buffon. There has been a cricket team in the town since 1993.
Montbard is near the site of the Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
The chateau was the scene of the marriage of Anne de Bourgogne and John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford in 1423. It was acquired by the naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, who was born in Montbard.
Some TGV express trains between Paris and Dijon stop at Montbard.
The Burgundy Canal also passes through the town.

When I look into your eyes, you help me realign
And show me just how to be myself inside
I’m in control of everything
It’s taking time but that’s ok
I can bring you to my side
You're my blessing in disguise
You’re mine (You’re mine)
You’re mine (You’re mine)
You’re my blessing in disguise
You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be
Years from now
When my focal point is set
I’m something I know I'll get
It’s not a question of how but more of when
You're a hot commodity
The choice is mine and mine for keeps
I can bring you to my side
When I look into your eyes, you help me realign
And show me just where my dedication lies
I’m in control of everything it’s taking toll but that’s ok
