Mike,
I should have said "the part of Normandy..."
Rouperroux is in Orne "département" (burrough), which is in the southern part of Normandy. My family is from the Eure burrough, much further to the north.
And now for some film/family trivia...
Before settling back to Eure, my family was living in Eure-et-Loir (just a stonethrow away) as, for a few years prior to WWII, my grand-father was the caretaker of the castle of Anet, where my Mum was born.
So, what's the film connection? You ask.
Watch the opening sequence of the Bond film "Thunderball". After some fake funeral, 007 has to fight his way out of a castle using a rocket jet pack. This is the Castle of Anet, and the little housing extension that you see attached to the main portal in the film is where my family used to live.
