The origins of Beuvron-en-Auge probably date back to Gallo-Roman times. The name ‘Beuvron’ appears in other forms in documents as early as the 11th century. It refers to a small river that flows through the village: Beuvron = beaver river.

In the 12th century, a small rural community emerged. For centuries, until the end of the 18th century, the lands of Beuvron belonged to the powerful d'Harcourt family, who made a major contribution to the economic development of the village.

The development of the village accelerated in the 15th century and reached its peak in the 17th and 18th centuries, when tanning and weaving ensured the prosperity of the village. In the 19th century, Beuvron was in danger of becoming a ghost village. In the 1970s, the remaining inhabitants decided to breathe new life into the village. The half-timbered houses were restored and the market hall, which had been demolished in 1958, was rebuilt. Slowly, Beuvron regained its former charm.

Beuvron-en-Auge nowadays has about 40 half-timbered houses, mainly located around the market hall on Place Michel Vermughen. The village is officially recognised as one of “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France” (The Most Beautiful Villages of France) because of its well-preserved Norman architecture.
