his village is located in the "Pays d'Auge" area, known  for its vales, hedges and  orchards.
It is also famous for its manors and its stud houses.
The Cambremer region is proud of its rich heritage.
Most of the buildings in the town center date back to the 19th century and display a mixture of wood , brick and slate shingles.

hanks to the dairy production of Normandy's famous cows, you can discover many regional cheese specialities such as "Camembert", "Livarot", "Pont l'Eveque" and "Pavé d'Auge".
The abundance and the quality of the apple trees make it possible to provide the famous  "AOC Pays d'Auge" cider.

t is also the starting point of many tourist circuits among the orchards and the small Augeron villages :

-  the cider route
-  the marsh route
-  the streams route
-  the cheese route

Au milieu du XXe siècle

ormerly, farmers met every week to sell their local products such as vegetables, butter, eggs, poultry and meat in the market hall.
Since the end of the 19th Century, the village center has not undergone many changes. Only the market hall has disappeared in 1962. In addition, a Post-Office was built in 1949.
The new buildings and other constructions have not modified the general appearance of the village (the School buildings in 1956, the Police Headquarters in 1978, the Tax Office and the Social Center in 1981; as well as a small building estate in 1980).

Every year the village takes part in a  national flowered village contest, with very satisfactory results.
