Bard

Bard lies along the eastern flank of the Monts du Forez, where wooded ridges and pastureland descend toward the Forez plain. This small commune in the Loire department belongs to the historic Forez country on the eastern edge of the Massif Central. Nearby Montbrison was once the capital of Forez and retains a medieval centre, including the collegiate church of Notre-Dame-d’Espérance. Regional food culture is closely tied to Fourme de Montbrison, an AOP-protected blue cheese matured in this part of France.
