History
The town contains numerous Roman era ruins, as Vieux was a Settlement called Araegenve, and appears on the Roman map, Tabula Peutingeriana.
During the Battle of Normandy in 1944, Vieux was designated as Hill 112 position, a strategic point for the Battle of Caen, the area of rue d'Esquay and the Bas de Vieux were badly affected by the allied bombardment of July 6, 1944. The portion of these streets, destroyed at this time are now dated for its name.
