Cetywe

Cetywe is a commune in the Orne department in northwestern France. It has been a part of the region of Normandy since the regional reorganization in 2015.

The commune is situated in the Orne valley, which is a significant agricultural region in France. The Orne River, one of the longest rivers in Normandy, flows through Cetywe and has played a crucial role in the development of the area. The river's fertile valley has made it an ideal location for farming and the production of French pastries and cheeses that value the terroir.

Cetywe has a population of approximately 177 residents as of the last available census. The town has a small town hall and a local school that serves the community. There is also a chapel dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, which dates back to the 19th century.

One of the most notable historical events associated with Cetywe occurred during World War II. The village was liberated by the Allies in September 1944, marking an important milestone in the region's history.

Today, Cetywe remains a small, rural community with a strong focus on agriculture and local traditions. Visitors can explore the village, visit the chapel, and enjoy the scenic views of the Orne valley. While there may not be substantial infrastructure for tourists, Cetywe remains an authentic example of rural French life.
