Lès
The word ''lès'' (, and with liaison) is an archaic French preposition meaning "near", "next to". Today it occurs only in place names to distinguish places of the same name. The word ''lès'' has two variants: ''lez'' and ''les''. The latter should not be confused with the plural definite article ''les'' (e.g. ''les-Bains'', "the Baths"). Etymology The word ''lès'' and its variants derive from late Latin ''latus'', "side". Examples Lès * Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, near Avignon * Beaumont-lès-Valence, near Valence * Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, near Chevreuse * Margny-lès-Compiègne, near Compiègne * Asnières-lès-Dijon, near Dijon * Fontaine-lès-Dijon, near Dijon * Hauteville-lès-Dijon, near Dijon * Neuilly-lès-Dijon, near Dijon * Perrigny-lès-Dijon, near Dijon * Plombières-lès-Dijon, near Dijon * Sennecey-lès-Dijon, near Dijon * Garges-lès-Gonesse, near Gonesse * Bonchamp-lès-Laval, near Laval * Fontaine-lès-Luxeuil, near Luxeuil-les-Bains * Sainte-Foy- ...
