Crèvecœur-en-Auge is a small place in northwestern France. Its name means "Crèvecœur in Auge." Crèvecœur-en-Auge used to be a separate commune. A commune is like a small town or local area with its own government.

On January 1, 2017, Crèvecœur-en-Auge joined with other nearby communes. They formed a new, larger commune called Mézidon Vallée d'Auge. This means it is no longer a separate commune on its own.

Crèvecœur-en-Auge is in the Calvados area. This area is part of the Normandy region of France. It is also "twinned" with a town in England. This town is Newton Poppleford in Devon, United Kingdom. Being twinned means two towns in different countries become friends. They often visit each other and share ideas.
