Pont-d'Ouilly is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France.

Pont-d'Ouilly is home to the famous Haras d'Ouilly, a Thoroughbred horse racing and breeding business currently owned by the Aga Khan IV.

The commune of Pont-d'Ouilly was created on August 23, 1947, from the merger of the two former communes of Saint-Marc-d'Ouilly and Ouilly-le-Basset.

Pont-d'Ouilly is located twenty kilometers from Falaise and a dozen kilometers from Condé-sur-Noireau. Based on the Orne, in the heart of Swiss Normandy, the town takes its name from the bridge that crosses it. The town is now dedicated to tourism and leisure with the presence of numerous recreational facilities.

Formerly known as stage city because it was one of the only ones with a bridge over the Orne to connect Paris to Brittany or Mont-Saint-Michel, the commune of Pont-d'Ouilly is still a must in the region. Heavily destroyed during WWII, the city was able to rebuild with great elegance and aesthetics. Despite this, however Pont-d'Ouilly preserved many ancient monuments of great beauty.

With its leisure and the many activities it offers, the small Normandy village is ideal for family holidays in the fresh air and rich entertainment.
