Historic Village Center

Beuvron-en-Auge's historic center revolves around Place Michel Vermughen, a picturesque square surrounded by half-timbered Norman houses from the 15th to 18th centuries. The village has been classified among 'Les Plus Beaux Villages de France' since 1986, recognized for its exceptionally preserved colombage architecture with colorful painted beams in red, green, and blue. The Vieux Manoir, dating from the 15th century and listed as a Historic Monument, anchors the square alongside the 18th-century Auberge de la Boule d'Or. A reconstructed market hall using authentic materials from old farms stands at the center. The village thrived under the d'Harcourt family, who owned the land from 1382 to 1793. Today visitors can explore artisan workshops in the former school, browse local shops, and use the village as a starting point for the 40-kilometer Cider Route through Normandy's apple orchards. The annual Cider Festival in late October draws crowds for apple pressing demonstrations and local product tastings.
