Buèges river takes its source on the commune of Pégairolles-de-Buèges, with the hamlet of Méjanel, by a karstic resurgence, draining part of water of the solid mass of Séranne and theis Causse of Larzac. This 12 km length river is thrown in Herault, after having disappeared in the rocks limestones on a few kilometers from course, reappearing on the surface only by abundant rain.
Dominated by Séranne mountain to 940 m with highest, and the causse of the Selle, its valley cut in the rock is a true haven of peace, paradise of strolls and the excursion.

Saint-Jean-de-Buèges, authentic medieval village nested in the valley of the buèges river which crosses the villages of Pégairolles-de-Buèges, Saint-Jean-de-Buèges and Saint-Andre-de-Buèges, is a place splendid and quiet, no surge of mass, it is the field of the amateurs of nature, uneven and beautiful images. One takes there also time to live on the terrace of single and small tavern of the valley.

With the foot of the Tras Castel rock which dominates of 100 m the village, nest the Castle of Baulx of XIIe XIIIe XIVe centuries, the remainders of enclosures of XIIIe XVe centuries and the keep of XIIe century.

Saint-Jean-de-Buèges is a french commune, located in the department of the Herault of the Languedoc-Roussillon area, populated of 184 Saint-Jeannais, distributed on 17 km², that is to say 11 hab./km².
