Buissard lies on the sunny slope of the Drac Valley. The landscape extends from the banks of the Drac across a dense network of paths and the bocage to steeply sloping agricultural land. When staying in Buissard, the desire to rent a holiday apartment may form part of your personal travel planning.
Nature
The riverside vegetation along Buissard’s waterways is a habitat of heritage interest that should be preserved. The open agricultural areas and bocage of Buissard are home to almost 200 animal species and around 50 plant species. In the Champsaur, Buissard is one of the municipalities with the greatest ornithological diversity.
The bocage of Buissard, criss-crossed by paths, hedges and canals, is ideal for walks to observe the local flora and fauna.

At the highest point of the village of Rissents stands the Church of Saint-Barthélémy, on a promontory above the Drac Valley. The parish of Saint-Barthélémy-du-Buissard has existed since at least the 12th century; the present Church of Saint-Barthélémy was built in 1848.
