Morbier

Morbier (French pronunciation: [mɔʁbje] ⓘ) is a commune in the Jura department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in Eastern France.

[3] From 1680 to 1920, Morbier was, with Morez, the centre of Comtoise clock production.

It gave its name to the Morbier cheese, which is produced in a larger area in the Jura Mountains.

In January 2007, Morbier absorbed the formerly independent commune of Tancua.
