Bazoches

Bazoches is a French placename, most commonly referring to a village. It is often part of a larger placename, such as Bazoches-les-Gallerandes or Bazoches-sur-Guyonne. The name likely derives from a Gaulish or Gallo-Roman origin, possibly referring to a fortified place or a location associated with a particular person or group. The suffix "-oches" is common in French placenames and frequently indicates an ancient origin. Therefore, "Bazoches" by itself typically indicates a small settlement with historical roots in Gaul or the Roman period. Due to its prevalence, disambiguation is usually required to identify a specific location named Bazoches.
