Welcome to Blangy-le-Château: medieval history, thatched-roof houses and the landscapes of the Pays d’Auge

The ‘Little Rome’ of Calvados
Nestled amongst seven hills, Blangy-le-Château takes you on a journey along its rivers and streams to discover its Norman heritage.
A legend in Blangy-le-Château
In Blangy-le-Château, it is rumoured that the ruins of the old keep are still home to Claire, a young shepherdess wearing a silver bracelet. On full-moon nights, be careful!
