Barbeville (French pronunciation: [baʁbəvil] ^ⓘ) is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region of north-western France.^[3]

Geography

Barbeville is located in the Drône valley some 4 km west of Bayeux. Access to the commune is by the D96 road from Bayeux which passes through the heart of the commune and the village and continues west to Rubercy. The D5 from Bayeux to Le Molay-Littry forms the southern border of the commune. The D169 from Vaucelles in the north passes south down the eastern side of the commune and continues to Ranchy. The Route nationale N13 passes through the eastern arm of the commune with the nearest exit being Exit 38 just north of the commune. The commune is entirely farmland.

The Drôme river forms the entire eastern border of the commune as it flows north to join the Aure south-west of Commes. The Ruisseau de Cottun flows from the west of the commune to join the Drome on the eastern border. The Ruisseau de Saint-Symphorien flows along the northern border towards the east, forming parts of the border and joining the Drome at the north-eastern tip of the commune.

History

Barbeville appears as Barbeville on the 1750 Cassini Map^[4] but unusually does not appear on the 1790 version.^[5]
