Geography
Beaufour-Druval is located some 25 km east by north-east of Caen and 12 km south-east of Cabourg. Access to the commune is by the D287 road from Angerville in the north-west, the D276 from Cresseveuille in the north which continues south-east to Auvillars, and the D146 from Beuvron-en-Auge in the south-west which continues to join the D45 in the north-east. The D85 from Saint-Léger-Dubosq in the west to Rumesnil in the south forms part of the south-western border of the commune. Apart from the village, there are the hamlets of Saint-Aubin-Lebizay and La Ruelle. The commune is entirely farmland.
The name has no relationship with "un four" as shown in the old forms but comes from the beech tree, which was formerly called fou in the west.
Druval comes from Drudo plus the Latin suffix vallem.
Beaufour appears as Beaufou on the 1750 Cassini Map
