Le Breuil en Auge is a small village located in the Calvados area of Normandy, France. It is situated in the midst of rolling hills and lush pastures, providing visitors with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The village is renowned for its traditional Norman architecture, with thatched roofs and half-timbered houses.
Le Breuil en Auge was a about 3 miles from Saint Philbert des Champs another Normandy village. We were staying a similar distance away at Le Brevedent in a Gite. The building you can see in the photo just behind the village sign was the home for three donkeys. It would make a fine Gite with its thatched roof.

The main street
The area of Le Breuil en Auge has been inhabited since the 11th century, when it was part of a royal estate. The village was officially founded in 1218, when it was granted a charter by King Philip II of France. Throughout the Middle Ages, the village was a thriving agricultural center and was home to many craftsmen.
In the late 18th century, the village was home to a large number of sheep and dairy farms, as well as a vibrant wool-weaving industry. The village was also known for its production of cider, which made it a popular destination for travelers.
Le Breuil en Auge has many attractions for visitors to explore. The village itself is a great place to wander around, with its picturesque streets and traditional architecture. There are also several churches in the village, including Saint-Nicolas Church, which dates back to the 11th century.
Nearby, visitors can explore the ruins of Montmartin Chateau, which was built in the 12th century. The ruins overlook the village and provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Other nearby attractions include the towns of Bayeux and Caen, both of which are home to many historic sites. Visitors can also explore the beaches of Normandy, including the famous Omaha Beach.
