Cheffreville-Tonnencourt: former commune in Calvados, northwestern France

Geography and character

Located in the Pays d'Auge area of Calvados, the locality is typical of Normandy's gentle bocage: rolling pastures, hedgerows and orchards. The landscape supports mixed agriculture and dairy farming; cider apples and pasture for dairy herds are common in the surrounding countryside. Buildings often reflect regional vernacular styles, including timber framing.

History and administration

Like many small French communes, Cheffreville-Tonnencourt had a long rural history but limited administrative capacity. The 2016 merger into a larger commune aimed to pool resources, simplify governance and improve delivery of local services. Such mergers have been widespread across France since the 2010s.

Local features and significance

• Typical Norman architecture and village layout.
