On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Souleuvre-en-Bocage. The village of Saint-Martin-des-Besaces is a small french village located north west of France. The town of Saint-Martin-des-Besaces is located in the department of Calvados of the french region Basse-Normandie. The town of Saint-Martin-des-Besaces is located in the township of Le Bény-Bocage part of the district of Vire. Situated in Lower Normandy, Calvados is characterised by the pretty countryside of the Pays d’Auge with its apple orchards and half-timbered houses, some of which have thatched roofs, known as ‘colombage’. Agriculture dominates the economy of this department and production of butter, cheese (especially Camembert and Pont-l’Eveque), cider and Calvados, the apple brandy that takes its name from the area, are much in evidence in the culinary dishes for which the region is famous. Facing the English Channel, Calvados also offers a huge variety of fresh fish and shellfish served à la Normande with a superb choice of local produce from market stalls offering colourful fresh fruit and vegetables. This is one of the most popular tourist areas of France because of its delightful seaside resorts, its naturally verdant countryside and the vast areas of woodland which support an enviable diversity of wildlife. Calvados is rich in history and many of the towns and villages are interesting to visit including Beuvron-en-Auge which is a listed village on the cider route. With its ancient manoirs, a covered marketplace and craft centres, this is also the home of a celebrated cider festival. In June 1944, Allied forces landed on the beaches of the Bay of the Seine. Several locations along the coast are famous for their historic significance during the Battle of Normandy ...
