Pont-L'Eveque is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. It has given its name to a type of soft cheese.
The town was severely damaged by a 2-day battle in August 1944.
The town serves as the setting for Gustave Flaubert's story Un cœur simple and features heavily in the book "13 - Lucky For Some" which is about the history of the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion. There are many then and now photographs as well as maps and diagrams of battles that took place in the region.
