Corbigny (French pronunciation: [kɔʁbiɲi]) is a commune in the Nièvre department in central France. [3]
Corbigny is located at the western end of the Morvan hills and is one of the five entry points of Parc naturel régional du Morvan. The river Anguison, a tributary of the Yonne, flows through the town. Corbigny station has rail connections to Auxerre and Laroche-Migennes.
The city used to be one of the first steps for pilgrims starting from Vézelay on the road to Santiago de Compostela.
On 15 January 1934, a Dewoitine tri-motor commercial airliner, the 'Emeraude' (Emerald), returning from Indochina, crashed into a hillside near Corbigny, killing all ten people aboard, including the director of Air France, Maurice Noguès, and the governor-general of the colony of French Indochina, Pierre Pasquier. [4]
The Saint Léonard Abbaye which was built in the 18th century is one of the city's most famous attractions. A festival of classical music takes place in this Abbaye every summer.
On 1 January 2019, the estimated population was 1,440. The residents of Corbigny are known as Corbigeois in French.
