Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte is a commune and small rural town in lower Normandy, a north western region of France. It is situated in the Cotentin Peninsula near Valognes in the Manche département.

Population : 2,242 (1999 census).

An ancient fortress with massive 14th century towers and a 12-15th century abbey still mark a vivid history during the Middle Ages.

The novelist Jules Amédée Barbey d'Aurevilly was born there on November 2, 1808. A museum is now dedicated to him.
