Le Buisson de Cadouin is situated at the crossroads of the département’s main towns, the historical and tourist sites of the ‘Périgord Pourpre’ and the ‘Périgord Noir’ and of‘Bastide Country’. The town itself has developed around the train station and its railway network linking Bordeaux and Sarlat, Paris and Agen.
At the 1999 census the commune counted a population of 2075 who live at Cubans (once a port village on the Dordogne River), Cussac (perched on the hillside) and the town centre, the economic hub of the commune and indeed of the « Community of Communes ».
Le Buisson de Cadouin is also a cultural centre with a forward-looking, active library and an arts cinema.
