The city used to be one of the first steps for pilgrims starting from Vézelay on the road to Santiago de Compostela. The librettist and poet Franc-Nohain (1872-1934) was born in Corbigny. 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. ==Monuments==

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. == Architecture ==
