Bavay (pronounced () ) is a French commune in the Nord department in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of northern France. The city is the capital of the canton also called Bavay. The inhabitants of the commune are known as ''Bavaisiens'' or ''Bavaisiennes''〔(Inhabitants of Nord ) 〕 ==Geography== Bavay is located some 20 km east by south-east of Valenciennes and 10 km west of Maubeuge. Main access is on the D649 highway between these two towns which passes through the commune just north of the town. Many roads radiate from the town: the D305 north-west, the D84 north-east, the D932 east by north-east, the D961 south-east, the D932 south-west, the D942 west by south-west, and the D2649 west. A disused railway line runs to the commune from Maubeuge and there is an abandoned railway station south-west of the town. Apart from the town the commune is entirely farmland.〔(Google Maps )〕 The ''Hogneau'' or ''Bavay'' river runs through the commune to the west joined by several streams in the commune. The ''Riez Raoult'' rises in the north of the commune and flows north while the ''Ruisseau du Louvion'' rises nearby and flows north-east. The ''Ruisseau d'Aviette'' rises in the east and flows east from the commune. The ''Ruisseau des Pres'' comes from the south-east and forms part of the south-eastern border before joining the Bavay river. The ''Ruisseau de Mecquignies'' comes from the south and also flows to the Bavay river.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bavay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
