Exmes

Exmes is a village in the Orne department of Normandy, north-western France. In the early Middle Ages it was the chief place of the Hiémois, a district whose name derives from it, and the seat of a castle and of the counts of the Hiémois in the 11th century. Some scholars locate the Gallic Esuvii in this area.
