L'Europe buissonnière (French pronunciation: [løʁɔp bɥisɔnjɛʁ]) is a 1949 novel by the French writer Antoine Blondin. It is based on Blondin's experiences as an STO worker at a rubber plant in Austria in 1943 and 1944. It depicts Europe during World War II in a comical fashion reminiscent of Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Journey to the End of the Night.[1]

It was Blondin's debut novel and received the Prix des Deux Magots.[2]
