The Camper’s take

Free parking at the Grande Forge de Buffon near the Burgundy Canal. Two parking areas available: one at the entrance among trees, another by the canal after the bridge. Very quiet despite occasional freight trains at night that cause minimal disturbance. No facilities provided; complete self-sufficiency required. Ideal location for visiting this listed industrial heritage site before or after overnight stay.
