Biville (French pronunciation: [bivil]) is a former commune in the Manche department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. On 1 January 2017, it was merged into the new commune La Hague.[2]
The parish church, dedicated to Saint Peter, also houses the relics of a native son of Biville, the priest and miracle-worker Thomas Hélye (1187–1257).[3]
