geography

Hyenville is located south of the Cotentin Peninsula , about six kilometers west of the coast of the Gulf of Saint-Malo . The nearest town, Coutances, is three miles north of Hyenville. The neighboring communities were Orval (now: Orval sur Sienne ) in the north and east, Quettreville-sur-Sienne in the south, Hérenguerville in the south-west, Montmartin-sur-Mer in the west and Montchaton (now: Orval-sur-Sienne) in the north-west.
