Bauzy is a French commune in the Loir-et-Cher department in the Centre region of central France.[1]

Geography

Bauzy is located in the heart of Sologne some 20 km south-east of Blois, 40 km south-west of Orléans, and 40 km north-east of Vierzon. Access to the commune is by the D60 road from Bracieux in the north-west which passes through the heart of the commune and the village and continues south-east to Vernou-en-Sologne. Apart from the village there is the hamlet of La Boulaie in the south-east. The commune is mixed forest and farmland.[3][4]

The commune is dotted with many small lakes including the Étang d'Avaray, the Étang de l'Oie, and the Étang Saulier plus numerous others. The Beuvron river flows through the north-east of the commune from south-east to north-west and continues to join the Loire at Candé-sur-Beuvron. The Bonne Heure stream flows through the middle of the commune and the village from south-east to north-west where it joins the Beuvron at Bracieux. Many small tributaries feed the Bonne Heure from the numerous lakes.[3][4]

Notes

  1. ^ At the beginning of the 21st century, the methods of identification have been modified by Law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002, the so-called "law of local democracy" and in particular Title V "census operations" allows, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For communes with a population greater than 10,000 inhabitants, a sample survey is conducted annually and the entire territory of these communes is taken into account at the end of the period of five years. The first "legal population" after 1999 under this new law came into force on 1 January 2009 and was based on the census of 2006.
