Thury-Harcourt was a small town, or "commune," located in the northwest of France. It was part of the region called Basse-Normandie and the department named Calvados. Think of a commune as a local government area, similar to a small town or village.

On January 1, 2016, Thury-Harcourt joined with other nearby towns. They formed a new, larger commune called Le Hom. This means Thury-Harcourt no longer exists as a separate commune.
