Travel Guide Bazemont

Like a large number of French communes, Bazemont owes his som to his topography: the oldest form would be Boso mons. Monks dependent on the mighty Prieuré priory would have settled in Sainte-Dove in the th century, long independent seigneurie, after clearing part of the royal forest. In the th century, the presence of a church under the motto of Saint Hilaire testifies to the presence of a community. Standing still today after many restorations, the church contains the memory of the village's history, such as the importance of the O family, including Dépendit. Charles d'O built a castle in the late th century, reworked in the th century by Louis-Pierre Parat de Chalandray. Until the middle of the twentieth century, Bazemont lived like all the villages surrounding his agricultural vocation, fueling the markets of Meulan, Poissy, Saint-Germain and even Poissy. Other resources, the vine, which grew on the slopes of the road of Flins, and the cardère, cultivated plant destined for weavers. The stone was extracted for a long time in Bazemont, as evidenced by the presence of numerous quarries; we would have drawn the stone that built the bell of Our Lady of Chartres. Some quarries became the nineteenth century of the mushroom, when others continued to be exploited until the th century to make lime. Electricity came to the village in 1929, the running water was installed only in 1962.
