Beaufort-Blavincourt

Location and regional context

Historically the area was included in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region; that territory later became part of the larger Hauts-de-France region in national administrative reforms. Background on the historical region is available at Nord-Pas-de-Calais (historic region) and at Nord-Pas-de-Calais resources. General information about the department is given at Pas-de-Calais department and on departmental administration pages such as department administration.
