Notre-Dame-de-Courson (in French pronounced as /nɔtʁə dam də kuʁsɔ̃/) is a former commune in the department of Calvados in the Normandy region in northwestern France. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Livarot-Pays-d'Auge.[2]
Notre-Dame-de-Courson fell in medieval times within the barony of the Ferrers family at nearby Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire, who took part of the Norman Conquest of England. One branch of the Curzons from Notre-Dame-de-Courson accompanied their Ferrers overlord to England.[3]
Notre-Dame-de-Courson is twinned with the village of Sampford Peverell in Devon, England.
