❊ The Village ... The halls restored with old materials, the half-timbered houses dating from the 17th century, the 15th century manor, the old 18th century Auberge de la Boule d´Or, the Church of San Marino constitute an architectural heritage in the purest Norman style. Every year, the village comes to life at the beginning of May with the Geranium Fair and the last weekend of October with a Cider Festival and a large market of local products. In addition to cider and calvados, you can also taste the renown Teurgoule, a Norman dessert made from rice pudding flavored with cinnamon, exotic ingredients "imported" in the 17th century by the Norman corsairs. ❊ A little history If the origin probably dates back to the conquest of the saplings and the creation of Neustria, it was in the 12th century that a small rural community undertook the clearing necessary for crops for its subsistence. The locality takes its name from that of the stream that waters it. Beuvron, "the beaver river", is a well-known Gallic name. The barony of Beuvron, first stronghold of the Vicomte d'Auge and falling under the castle of Touque, passed into the house of Harcourt in 1374 by the marriage of Philippe d'Harcourt with Jeanne de Tilly, who brought him the fiefs. de Héricourt, Tilly, Beuvron, Beaufou, Druval and Sainl-Aubin-de-Lébizay. These lands are therefore linked to the Harcourt family who owned them from 1382 to 1793. The marquisate of Beuvron was formed in 1593 from the union of the fiefs of Auricher and Angerville in the viscounty of Auge, as well as the baronies of Méry and Cléville, with the baronies of Beaufou, Beuvron, Druval and Saint-Aubin- de-Lébizay. The current commune of Beuvron-en-Auge was formed by the reunion of the communes of Beuvron and Clermont which each formed before 1790 a parish and community (Decree of August 13, 1858). Beuvron joined the commune of Clermont by the decree of August 13, 1856. The complement “en-Auge” was added to Beuvron. The development of the village really begins in the 15th century to reach its peak in the 17th and 18th centuries. At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, tanning and weaving ensured the prosperity of the village. In the 19th century, it was an important center for the cattle trade and the railway made its appearance there in 1879. Many traders and craftsmen settled on the square around the wooden hall built in 1850 (destroyed in 1958). But, as a consequence of modern times, at the beginning of the 1970s, the population had halved in 50 years, traders and artisans closed shops and workshops. Beuvron is then on the verge of becoming a deserted village. (Source Société historique des amis de Lisieux / DREAL).

On the heights, in a quiet Norman village, on the first floor of a thatched cottage in a park with trees. View on the garden and the valley.

Surrounded by a beautiful moat, fed by a small stream, this castle appears to date from three eras. It is very well preserved and was partly built at the beginning of the 17th century. A spring of living water cascades down to water its walls surrounded by wide and deep ditches. A wood of fir trees, planted on the slope of the hill, seems to form an evergreen curtain to the north. Nothing is more imposing than the high avenues of lime trees whose long walls of greenery protect the stately home ... The Hébertot Castle was built in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is located on the site of an old manor house which belonged to the Dukes of Normandy and which was near the Vimont fountain, that is to say at the wash house near the entrance of the current castle, at a short distance the Roman road, the village, the church, a post house and a hostel. This manor was visited by William the Conqueror, Henry I, Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, and especially Jean Sans Terre. This castle, located in the heart of the Pays d'Auge, is part of a magnificent setting. A curtain of trees adorns the surrounding hills. It sits in the middle of a vast enclosure planted with centuries-old avenues, arbours, groves, in a park adorned with waterfalls, surrounded by all the splendor of the great feudal residences of the 17th century. It rises on a median surrounded by a deep moat fed by a small stream. The construction of this building took place over three distinct periods which nevertheless fit together perfectly and offer an imposing appearance. The oldest part, which dates back to the beginning of the 17th century, was built by the family of the Knights of Nollent, established in the region for several centuries. It was the presence of large quantities of water that would have led this family to acquire the lands of Hébertot and settle there.
