Fontaine-les-Bassets

Fontaine-les-Bassets lies in the gentle valleys of the Pays d’Auge, an inland part of Normandy where pastureland and apple orchards shape the countryside. This small commune is in the Orne department, south of the Channel coast and away from Normandy’s larger urban centres. Its setting reflects the bocage tradition: a farmed mosaic of fields, hedges and small woods rather than broad open plains. Apple growing and dairy farming have long defined Pays d’Auge, providing the basis for cider, Calvados and renowned regional cheeses.
