Manlay (French pronunciation: [mɑ̃lɛ]) is a rural commune in the Côte-d'Or department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of central-east France. It is on the departmental border with Saône-et-Loire.

On 31 July 1944, amid the Liberation of France during World War II and ahead of the general retreat of the occupying forces towards Germany, they bombed and burnt down the town as retaliation for French Resistance Maquis activities:

Of the 80 houses inhabited by 105 families, 62 were completely destroyed and 18 damaged. There was no longer any town hall, school, or post office.[3]
