Bresles (French pronunciation: [bʁɛl]) is a commune in the Oise department in northern France.[3]
Geography[edit]
Bresles is about 88 km (55 mi) north of Paris, and just under 15 km east of Beauvais.
History[edit]
Its existence is attested since 1262 and the chapel of St Peter and St Paul, dating from 1312, is all that is left of a fort founded in 1212. The web page created by the Oise department (see freeoise.free.fr) mentions a famous nineteenth century opera singer by the name of Nicolas Levasseur as a significant native of Bresles, but does not mention the much more notorious French fascist leader Jacques Doriot.
