The village is 500 meters above sea level on the banks of the Lac de Sainte-Croix and at the foot of the Défens mountain (723 m). The municipality is bounded on the south by the Cuguyons mountain range and on the east by the Mocrouis . The municipality is part of the Verdon Regional Nature Park .
history
A Neolithic burial chamber was located near the Fontaine-l'Évêque spring, which has now dried up and was one of the most productive in all of France. An old Roman road that ran from Fréjus to Riez ran through the village. The burial site and numerous ceramic shards discovered by Saint-Barthélémy, as well as a funerary inscription in the lobby of the town hall, confirm the occupation of the region in Roman times. In 1060 the village "Balduina Castri" was mentioned for the first time in a document from Saint-Victor de Marseille. In 1549 Bauduen was reduced to rubble. During the year 1765 Bauduen already had 807 inhabitants.
