Moult (French pronunciation: [mult] ) is a former commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. On 1 January 2017, it was merged into the new commune Moult-Chicheboville. [2] The commune is situated about 16 kilometers southeast of Caen. It is in the valley of the Muance.
The ancient ruins in and around the commune suggest that it was used as a fortified camp that controlled the area between Vieux and Lisieux.
