Bonneville-sur-Touques (French pronunciation: [bɔnvil syʁ tuk] ⓘ, Bonneville on Touques) is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France, located four kilometres from the urban agglomeration Deauville-Trouville. The commune is principally famous for its 11th century castle, which protected the nearby supply port of Touques. The population is 325 (2019).[3]

Etymology

[edit]

The name Bonneville is attested as far back as 1014, when it appeared in the form Bonnavilla.[4] Old French bonne, or good, already had its current meaning at that time, and ville, or town, which in placenames often has its original meaning of rural area (from the Latin villa rustica), might here have the later sense of "village".[4]

Government

[edit]

The municipal council has 11 members, including the mayor and two deputies.
