Buoux has a rich history, marked by the construction in the 17th century of the old village, the small Provençal church and the surrounding country houses. The church, built in 1704 on the remains of an earlier chapel, houses a tabular altar from the pre-Romanesque period. The town hall also keeps an oven, dating from the establishment of the village, regularly maintained by the municipality.

The village is most famous for Fort de Buoux, a medieval fortress perched on a rocky outcrop, offering spectacular views over the Luberon. This defensive site served as a refuge in the Middle Ages and is today a popular place for hiking and climbing. Buoux is surrounded by limestone cliffs, which attract climbing enthusiasts from all over the world.
