Orval-sur-Sienne and the Coutances Region

Orval-sur-Sienne (50660) is a new commune in the Manche department, born from the merger of several communes including Montchaton, Saint-Denis-le-Gast, and other villages in the Coutances region. The Sienne, the river that gives the commune its name, originates in the Manche hedgerow country and flows into the English Channel after crossing the Coutances region.

The Coutances region is an agricultural area in central Manche, centered around Coutances, a cathedral city renowned for its Gothic cathedral and gardens. This hedgerow region is characterized by its pastures, cider orchards, and apple trees, which give the autumn landscape a golden and fragrant hue. It is a traditionally dairy-farming region, known for producing Norman cheeses.
