The Buëch, named after its eponymous river, is a spectacular transitional region located at the confluence of the Hautes-Alpes and the Provençal influences of the Drôme. Benefiting from exceptional brightness and a dry climate, its landscapes offer a striking contrast: vast plateaus and apple orchards alongside steep limestone massifs. It serves as a true gateway to several major mountain ranges, such as Dévoluy to the north and the Provençal Baronnies to the south, granting it a unique flora where Mediterranean scrub and alpine species coexist. Historically significant (notably with the Veynes railway junction), the Buëch captivates with its rural atmosphere, perched villages, and dry, luminous nature characteristic of the Southern Hautes-Alpes.
