Overview
Bailleulval is a small rural commune located in the Pas-de-Calais department in the north of France. Historically part of the former administrative region Nord-Pas-de-Calais, it now lies within the larger Hauts-de-France area. The village is representative of many small French communes: compact, agricultural and centred on local life and municipal governance.
Administratively the commune is managed by a mayor and municipal council and forms one of many local units that together make up the departmental structure. Its surroundings are a mix of farmland, hedgerows and minor roads, with larger towns and transport links found a short drive away.
