Torigni-sur-Vire (French pronunciation: [tɔʁiɲi syʁ viʁ], "Torigni-on-Vire"), also known as Torigny,[2] is a former commune in the Manche department, Normandy, northwestern France. It was reformed in 2016 to create Torigny-les-Villes and houses that commune's seat of government. The town is home to the Château des Matignon.

History

During the Middle Ages, Torigni was a lordship (seigneur de Torigny) within the Duchy of Normandy. Margaret of Burgundy sold it to Pierre the Fat, chamberlain of Philip IV, for 9500 livres tournois[2] (about 768 kg or 1,700 lb of fine silver). It was also the home of the 12th-century chronicler Robert of Torigni.

On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Torigny-les-Villes.[3]
