Geography
Bard-le-Régulier is located in the Massif of Morvan in a natural regional park at the foot of Mount Bard some 60 km south-west of Dijon, 25 km north of Autun, and 12 km west of Arnay-le-Duc. Access to the commune is by the D15 road from Brazey-en-Morvan in the north which passes through the heart of the commune and the village before continuing south to join the D11 south of Manlay. The D15E goes north-east from the village to Vianges. The D115 goes south-west from the village to join the D233 south-west of the commune after changing to the D247 at the departmental border. A railway line passes through the commune from north to south but there is no station in the commune with the nearest station some 2 km south-east of the commune. The commune is quite heavily forested but with large areas of farmland.[4][5]
The Trévoux rises from a small lake in the north of the commune and flows south through the village continuing south to eventually join the Arroux north-west of Igornay.[4]
