Le Tourneur was once a small town, known in France as a commune. It was located in the region called Basse-Normandie, which is in the northwest part of France. Le Tourneur was part of the department named Calvados.
On January 1, 2016, Le Tourneur joined with several other communes. They all became part of a new, larger commune called Souleuvre-en-Bocage. This means Le Tourneur no longer exists as a separate commune.
