Fervaques was a small village, also known as a "commune," located in northwestern France. It was part of the Calvados area, which is like a county, within the Normandy region.
On January 1, 2016, Fervaques joined with several other nearby villages. They all merged together to create a new, larger commune called Livarot-Pays-d'Auge. This means Fervaques is no longer a separate commune on its own, but its history and community are now part of this bigger area.
