I haven't been able to identify the places where these Swiss stamps were canceled. Can anyone help, please?

They read:
Left: "(L?)...ES GRANGES-PRES-CHATEAU...(?)

Right "...S-DES-BIOUX"

My thanks in advance for any help.

I suspect the first set is Les Granges-près-Château-d'Oex. Only a guess as the cancellation is incomplete.
The second could be Bas des Bioux. Again, just a guess.

Isn't "Bas des Bioux" too short?

LGpCd'Oex is a pretty good guess, as there is/was a Les Granges village in the municipality of Chateau d'Oex.

Pointing me toward Les Brioux got me a map that showed Bas-des-Brioux as a thoroughfare there and so the postmark apparently was that of a post office lovcated on that road. Vayolene has a good point about the spacing on my stamp as being suspect.

Thank you both for your assistance.
