Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte is a commune in the Manche department in Normandy in north-western France. It is situated in the Cotentin Peninsula near Valognes in the Manche ''département''. Population : 2,242 (1999 census). ==History== The Château de Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, an ancient castle with massive 14th century towers, and a 12-15th century abbey still mark a vivid history during the Middle Ages. The city walls were breached by cannon during a siege in 1374. This is believed to have been among the first successful uses of guns against city walls in history.〔Kenneth Chase: ''Firearms.
