history
Vieux was ancient Aregenua (from Gallic are , "below" and genoa , "mouth"), the chief town of the Celtic tribe of the Viducassen . In Roman times, the name was changed to Civitas Viducassensis after the residents , from which the current name Vieux emerged.
Around 1580 one of the most important writing stones from ancient Gaul was found here in Latin , the Marbre de Thorigny (marble [stone] from Thorigny); in fact, the stone was discovered in Vieux and not in Thorigny, now Torigni-sur-Vire .
During Operation Neptune , the invasion of Normandy in 1944, the Cote 112 ( English Hill 112 ), a hill in the immediate vicinity of Vieux, was the scene of a seven-week battle (from June to July) between German and Anglo-Canadian troops.
