History
The village is still small today, and in the early 20th century and before it would have been simply a cluster of farms, until recently there was no road connecting the village to Pont-Farcy so it would have been quite isolated.
Geography
The village is located approximately 1 Kilometre from Pont-Farcy along the D307 Road. The village is a collection of farm houses and a church, the overall population is just 81. However this probably accounts for neighbouring farms as well. Other nearby settlements include Pont-Bellanger and Beaumesnil. The nearest large towns are Villedieu-les-Poeles and Vire.
The village is located close to the Calvados tourist attraction 'Grotte de Bion'
