Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is a commune on a hilltop in the Côte-d'Or department in Burgundy in eastern France.

Flavigny is known for its anise-flavored candy. The movie "Chocolat" was shot in Flavigny.

It has a seminary of the Society of St. Pius X, a traditionalist branch of the Roman Catholic Church, the "Séminaire International Saint Curé d'Ars". This community is often said to be "schismatic", but this is incorrect (see the Present canonical status of the SSPX).

Abbey

This village also has a Benedictine abbey. The monks today occupy a site near to the site of a Benedictine abbey from the early Middle Ages to the Revolution. The monks returned in the 1970s.
