Combray
Combray is a commune in the Calvados department in Normandy in north-western France.
Combray is also an imagined village in Marcel Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu, a book which was strongly inspired by the village of his childhood, Illiers, which has now been renamed Illiers-Combray in his honor. Combray is the title of the first part of the first volume of À la recherche du temps perdu, titled Du côté de chez Swann.
There is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle.Population
