Parc Buffon is a seven-hectare public park that was classified as a Historic Monument in 1947. It stretches along fourteen terraces.

The 46-metre-high Tour de l'Aubespin comprises four vaulted rooms and an upper terrace offering a remarkable panorama of Montbard and the Brenne Valley, crossed by the Canal de Bourgogne. Dating from the 14th century, the Tour de l'Aubespin is one of the most visible remains of Montbard's former medieval fortress.
