Buzy lies in the catchment area of the Adour River . The Gave d'Ossau largely marks the southern border to the neighboring municipality of Arudy.
One of its tributaries, the Escou, also called Ruisseau le Poun-Débat, flows through Buzy, as does the Ruisseau Moulias, also called Ruisseau le Bournasse, with its tributaries
- Ruisseau de Cambagne and
- Ruisseau des Trébès.
The Ruisseau d'Escou watercourse ends on the territory of the commune.
history
In the Junqua Grotto in the northwest of the municipality, artifacts prove the existence of humans during prehistory . A dolmen on the border with the neighboring municipality of Bescat probably dates from the end of the Neolithic and also shows an early settlement.
In the scriptures, Buzy first appeared in 1096, according to Pierre de Marca's book Histoire de Béarn . Further mentions and toponyms were subsequently Busia (1170, according to Pierre de Marca), Busi (12th century, writings from the pilgrims' hostel of Gabas, now part of Laruns ), Buzi en Bag (1343, writings by Pardies ), Buzii (1429 , Parish archives ), Saint-Saturnin de Buzy (1608, incorporated into the Diocese of Oloron ) and Busy (1614, manuscript from the 16th to 18th centuries).
In the census of 1385 55 households were counted and it was noted that the village is located in the Bailliage of the Archdeaconate of Ossau.
On the map of Cassini 1750, Buzy is marked as Buzi . During the French Revolution in 1793 the parish was still run as Bury , and eight years later as Buzy during the French Consulate .
After a rather moderate growth over the centuries, the opening of a train station in 1883 on the Buzy – Laruns line gave a boost to development. During the Second World War , the municipality's hydroelectric power station was built, and 250 inmates of the Camp de Gurs internment camp had to help build it .
Population development
Since records began during the French Revolution, the population rose to over 1,500 by 1881. This was followed by a decrease to just over 800 in the 1950s, with the loss during the First World War being particularly high (approx. 15% decrease between 1911 and 1921). Since then, the population has stabilized in a range between 800 and 1000.

Attractions
- Church dedicated to Saturninus of Toulouse , who was sent on a mission to Gaul by Pope Fabianus around 250 AD and was the first bishop of Toulouse . The church was built in 1734 and underwent several changes in the 19th century, particularly with regard to the bell tower and wall openings. The nave has three naves . The special thing about the church is a gisant from the 16th century. It is Joannès de Aula or Jean de La Salle, born in Busy in 1445, died in 1522. He was Bishop of Couserans , later Bishop of Lascar .
- Chapel dedicated to Mary . The small chapel on the outskirts was dedicated to St. Blaise of Sebaste in earlier times . The patronage changed in the course of the 18th and 19th centuries as part of the restoration of the Catholic denomination in Béarn.
- Manor de Lassalle. The building, built in the Renaissance style, probably belonged to Joannès de Aula, or Jean de La Salle, whose gisant is in the local church. A square tower is built in the middle of the west facade of the single-storey house. Access to the building is via a spiral staircase inside the tower. The outer walls of the buildings are made of pebbles of various origins combined with limestone blocks.
- House Balesta. Houses with gate entrances with keel arches and coupling windows are often found in the Ossau Valley, but no street façades made of natural stone masonry as in this building. This part of the building also seems to be the oldest part of the structure. Traces of a former tower can be recognized by the structure of the masonry. The later tracts were built around an inner courtyard. Also noteworthy are the stepped gables , with each step covered by a slate of slate .
- Buzy dolmen.
- Rock called Caillou de Téberne . In the immediate vicinity of the dolmen, an irregularly shaped rock rises up, a relic of the former Ossau glacier . The rock also had a cultic function, as mysterious inscriptions show. In its vicinity was another flat stone with twelve sun circles, each about 10 cm in diameter. It is undoubtedly from the Bronze Age and is now exhibited in the Arudy Museum.
Economy and Infrastructure
The most important factor in the municipality's economy is agriculture and livestock.
Buzy is located in the AOC zone of Ossau-Iraty , a traditionally made semi-hard cheese made from sheep's milk.

traffic
Buzy is crossed by Routes départementales 34, 920 (former Route nationale 618b ) and 936 (former Route nationale 636 ).
