I highly recommend visiting the abbey church of St Thibault in St Thibault! A pure marvel!

Step into the Middle Ages - another incredible place (incidentally, the film set of the movie “Chocolat” with Johnny Depp)

The Canal takes a passage under the town of Pouilly, here you will no longer be able to follow the Canal, an alternative route that is not always easy to find (thanks Komoot).

In addition to strolling around the village, you can freely visit (and for free) the anise museum, discover the old workshops, the crypt of the abbey, and end up in the shop and buy small anise candies with different flavors.

A castle here, a palace there... That's why we always like to come here. A short stop by bike is worth it...

The church of St. Thibault has been restored and is worth a detour. However, I haven't seen any restaurants in the village, I fear we will have to wait for Pouilly to find something near the canal.

The city lies on Brenne and the Canal de Bourgogne. The area was already populated in ancient times. During the time of the Gauls there was a Druid community here. In the Middle Ages a town developed around the castle. Aleth, the mother of Bernard of Clairvaux, was born at the castle in 1070. The settlement received city rights in 1231. While the castle was a secondary residence of the Dukes of Valois from Burgundy, it was besieged in 1590 by the Count of Tavannes, who fought the Duke of Nemours on behalf of the French King Henri IV. The Canal de Bourgogne opened in 1833. In 1926, Montbard became a sub-prefecture by the decree of Raymond Poincarés.
