TOWN PRESENTATION

The town of Tournay-sur-Odon is the result of the addition of three former seigneurial fiefs, where the absence of a village for the benefit of hamlets scattered throughout the territory. In the Middle Ages, there was a village around the church, which was abandoned because of the plague, so the church is now isolated in the countryside. This rural community has reached a peak population of more than 750 people in the 1800s, then experienced the rural exodus in the 1950s with 220 people, then was revitalized with the near Caen. The town lies on both sides of the Odon valley with steep slopes and forested right bank, while one is on the left bank key sunniest villages, including that of Villodon, famous Camembert that bore his name and that won the gold medal in 1929. In 1944, on landing, the town located a few kilometers from the front saw its inhabitants forced to undergo a second exodus, while the Germans had retreated into the valley, Marshal Rommel "would have" stayed in the castle Ragny . Finally, the commune is part of a ZNIEFF (Natural Area of ​​Ecological Interest Fauna and Flora) and tries to preserve its landscape of farmland.
