Mazeley (in French pronounced as /mazlɛ/) is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France.

Geography

The village lies at the junction of three or four minor roads some 10km (10miles) northwest of Épinal.

Several archaeological discoveries indicate that the area was occupied in Roman times. A section of paved roadway was unearthed in the local woods in 1861, followed in 1988 by the discovery of a Gallo-Roman road in the Chanot district.
