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 with 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". The preposition is not used anymore in French, but remains still nowadays in other Langues d'oïl such as the Walloon language with ''dilé'' (close to) and ''adlé'' (among). 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 * Pl ...

Saint-Claude, Jura
Saint-Claude () is a commune and a sous-préfecture of the Jura department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France. It lies on the river Bienne. History The town was originally named ''Saint-Oyand'' after Saint Eugendus. However, when St. Claudius had, in 690, resigned his Diocese of Besançon and died in 696 as twelfth abbot, the number of pilgrims who visited his grave was so great that, since the 13th century, the name "Saint-Claude" came more and more into use and has today superseded the other. It was the world capital of wooden smoking pipes crafted by hand from the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century. During WWII the town came under German occupation, yet still remained a haven for Jews escaping to Switzerland due to its proximity to it (about 8 km away, as the crow flies). As a punishment to the locals for consistently assisting and harbouring the fleeing Jews, the Nazis executed all of the town’s males of service age in the town centre. ...
