Buisson

Buisson is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

Buisson is a small, wine-producing, Knights Templar village, dating back at least as far as the 12th century, and linked since its beginning to the nearby village of Villedieu, with which it produces its principal crop, Côtes-du-Rhône wine, which is sold from their joint winery, le Cellier du Templier.

Usage examples of "buisson".

Etienne Saint-Faust de Lamotte, a provincial nobleman of ancient lineage and moderate health, ex-equerry to the King, desired in the year 1774 to dispose of a property in the country, the estate of Buisson-Souef near Villeneuve-le-Roi, which he had purchased some ten years before out of money acquired by a prudent marriage.

Derues and his wife, a lady belonging to the distinguished family of Nicolai, visited Buisson-Souef.

If Derues were to receive the full third of the Duplessis inheritance--a very unlikely supposition after four years of liquidation--66,000 livres would not suffice to pay his ordinary debts quite apart from the purchase money of BuissonSouef.

Having failed to pay 9,000 livres for a modest estate near Rueil, he had no hesitation in pledging himself to pay 130,000 livres for the lordly domain of BuissonSouef.

So great were his pride and joy on the conclusion of the latter bargain that he amused himself by rehearsing on paper his future style and title: "Antoine Francois de Cyrano Derues de Bury, Seigneur de Buisson-Souef et Valle Profonde.

From the moment of the purchase of Buisson-Souef all his art was employed in cajoling the trusting and simple de Lamottes.

Legally Buisson-Souef was his from the signing of the agreement in December, 1775.

Instead of making it, Derues went down to Buisson-Souef with his little girl, and stayed there as the guests of the de Lamottes for six months.

If she were living free and independent in Paris she might find out the truth about the real state of his affairs, and then good-bye to Buisson-Souef and landed gentility!

To Derues there was now one pressing and immediate problem to be solved--how to keep Buisson-Souef as his own without paying for it?

Her indiscretion in having been the mistress of de Lamotte before she became his wife, would lend colour to his story that she had gone off with a former lover, taking with her the money which Derues had paid her for Buisson-Souef.

He would then produce the necessary documents proving the payment of the purchase-money, and Buisson-Souef would be his for good and all.

Derues sent down to his place at BuissonSouef a large trunk filled with china.

Indeed, he had reason to be pleased, for at last, he told his wife and his friend, Buisson-Souef was his.

On the 15th of February the deed of the sale of Buisson-Souef had been brought by a woman to the office of a scrivener employed by Derues.
