History

edit

The present commune was established on 1 January 2016 by merger of the former small communes of Brectouville, Giéville, Guilberville, and Torigni-sur-Vire (the seat).[3]

During the Middle Ages, Torigni-sur-Vire was part of the Duchy of Normandy and the home of the chronicler Robert of Torigni.
