Basly (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region of north-western France.[1]
The inhabitants of the commune are known as Basliens or Basliennes.[2]
Geography
Basly is located some 6 km south-east of Courseulles-sur-Mer and 10 km north-west of Caen. Access to the commune is by the D79 road from Bény-sur-Mer in the north-east which passes through the village and continues south-east to Colomby-sur-Thaon. The D83 comes from Douvres-la-Délivrande in the north-east through the village then south-west to Thaon. The D404 passes through the north-east corner of the commune and the D141 from Fontaine-Henry to Colomby-sur-Thaon passes through the south-west corner. The commune is entirely farmland.[3][4]
The Mue river forms the border of the south-western corner of the commune as it twists around then flows north-west to join the Seulles at Reviers.[3][4]
History
At a place called Campagne in the commune (near the Moto-Club) many archaeological remains have been found. This is on a spur blocked by the valley of the Mue. The most famous remains are those of a habitat from the first Iron Age (the Hallstatt culture) with an associated rectangular necropolis. There is archaeological evidence of a Neolithic stockade in medieval times.
Basly appears as Basly on the 1750 Cassini Map[5] and the same on the 1790 version.[6]
