Cerqueux (pronounced like "sair-koo") was a small commune, which is similar to a town or village area, located in the beautiful Normandy region of northwestern France. It was part of the Calvados area, which is like a county in France. On January 1, 2016, Cerqueux joined with other nearby towns to form a larger new commune called Livarot-Pays-d'Auge. This change meant Cerqueux became part of a bigger community.
