Coulvain was once a small town, known as a commune, located in northwestern France. It was part of the Calvados department within the Normandy region. A commune is like a local government area, similar to a small town or village. A department is a larger area, a bit like a county, and a region is an even bigger area, like a state or province.
What Happened to Coulvain?
On January 1, 2016, Coulvain joined with another commune to form a new, larger commune called Seulline. This means Coulvain no longer exists as a separate commune but is now part of Seulline. This often happens when smaller towns combine to share resources and services more effectively.
