Burcy is a small, former commune (like a small town or village) located in northwestern France. It was part of the Calvados department, which is a smaller area within the larger Normandy region.
On January 1, 2016, Burcy joined with other nearby communes to form a new, larger commune called Valdallière. This means Burcy is now a part of Valdallière, but it still has its own history and identity.
