Buoux

Buoux is a small commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France. It sits on the north side of the Luberon, an area famous for its beautiful, tall cliffs. Because of these cliffs, Buoux has become a popular place for people who enjoy rock climbing.

The town also has the ruins of a medieval fort that was built in the 13th century and torn down in 1660. Over time, Buoux's population changed a lot. In 1836, it had 244 people, but by 1961, that number dropped to just 44. Since then, the population has grown again, reaching 122 in 2006.

Today, Buoux doesn't have many industries. Most people there work in tourism, with several bed-and-breakfasts and restaurants, or in agriculture, producing lavender, honey, and truffles.
