Buisson: an Eygues River Village on the Edge of the Drôme Provençale
Buisson is a small village of 600 inhabitants on the banks of the Eygues, a clear-running river descending from the Baronnies mountains, straddling the border of the Vaucluse and the Drôme Provençale. Its landscape combines lavender fields, truffle groves, northern Côtes du Rhône vineyards and the limestone hills typical of the northern Vaucluse.
Located 15 km from Vaison-la-Romaine and 20 km from Nyons (France's olive capital), Buisson offers quick access to the region's highlights while retaining a tranquillity and authenticity that busier destinations have long since lost.

What to Do in Buisson and Northern Vaucluse
The Eygues, a fast-flowing river in spring, is a favourite for kayaking and river-trekking among nature lovers. Trout fishing is permitted over several kilometres. Nyons (20 km) is the capital of AOP Nyons black olives: an oil mill, a Thursday market and an olive museum make it a compelling half-day destination.
Vaison-la-Romaine (15 km) and its Roman remains, the Dentelles de Montmirail (20 km) for climbing and hiking, and the lavender trail (spectacular blooming in July around Sault and the Valréas plateau) complete the day-trip options from Buisson.
