Saint-Maclou
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint-Maclou is one of the communes in the canton of Beuzeville, in the Eure département, in France.
It has two chateaux within its boundaries - the chateau de St Maclou-la-Campagne just outside the village, and the Chateau du Mont. The name comes from Maclovius - the Latin name for a monk of Welsh origin who also gave his name to Saint-Malo - a much larger town in Brittany.
Saint Maclou is also the name of a large national chain of carpet shops in France - However there is not believed to be any connection to the place or the monk.
