Rocquancourt was a small town, also called a commune, located in northwestern France. It was part of the Calvados area, which is a department (like a county). This department is in the Normandy region (like a state).
On January 1, 2019, Rocquancourt joined with other nearby towns. They formed a new, larger commune called Castine-en-Plaine. So, Rocquancourt is no longer a separate commune by itself.
