Le Mesnil-Mauger was a small town or village in the northwest of France. It was located in a part of France called Basse-Normandie. This area is also known as the Calvados department.
On January 1, 2017, Le Mesnil-Mauger joined with other nearby towns. They all became part of a new, larger town called Mézidon Vallée d'Auge. This means Le Mesnil-Mauger is no longer a separate "commune" on its own.
