Just a few kilometers from Vaison-la-Romaine, discover the charm of Buisson, nestled on a hill overlooking the Aygues valley.
To discover this charming village, don't hesitate to leave the road and enter this place steeped in history.

This Templar stronghold attached to the Commanderie de Roaix invites you to lose yourself in its cool, narrow streets.

The parish church, originally Romanesque, was known as Notre-Dame-del-Bois. Restored and modified several times, it still boasts a 12th-century bell-tower.

Come and relax on the Place Verdun in the heart of the village, near the magnificent fountain and its imposing wash-house.

If you follow the covered path, you'll come to a surprising viewpoint over the Aygues valley.

Admire the village ramparts, built of Aygues pebbles and restored after the many battles that took place during the Wars of Religion. Linger over the pretty belfry, its clock and its wrought-iron campanile.

You can also take a stroll along the many hiking trails that criss-cross the 165 hectares of communal forest.

Don't miss the chapels of Saint Pierre and Notre-Dame-d'Argelier on the outskirts of the village.

Buisson is the ideal place to enjoy the authenticity of a Provencal village.

DID YOU KNOW?
Buisson derives its name from the area's main tree species: pine, holm oak, broom and boxwood.

A VILLAGE SECRET
In the 16th century, during the Wars of Religion, Buisson was attacked several times and destroyed in 1588 by Protestants from Nyons. They invaded the village and stole the church bell, which was not returned until a hundred years later, after numerous lawsuits.
