While the old village lies in the Bièvre valley, at an altitude of 100 m, the rest of Buc lies on the Saclay plateau. In the 16th century, Buc was part of the Magny-Lessart fiefdom, before being sold to Louis XIV in 1693 and incorporated into the royal domain. From the 20th century onwards, many aviators came to fly near Versailles, on the open spaces of the Haut-Buc plateau and the surrounding area. Aviation became a local industry, and Louis Blériot set up his own "avionnerie" here. After the First World War, records, meetings and the construction of the Aéroparc Louis-Blériot made Buc an aeronautical magnet.
