It is a suburb of the city of Caen, and lies adjacent to it in a northeasterly direction, along the west side of the Canal de Caen à la Mer. Its inhabitants are called Hérouvillais.

Just across the canal from Hérouville is a Renault Trucks manufacturing plant, which is situated between the canal and the Orne River. Just east of the river is the town of Colombelles.

Hérouville was the commune name until 1957.

Population

Hérouville-Saint-Clair experienced a very fast development which made it the most populous suburb of Caen. A simple village at the beginning of 1960, the commune passed from fewer than 2,000 inhabitants to almost 25,000 in less than fifteen years. This figure has varied little since 1975.

gollark: You need a more coherent system for paying for works where it's hard to capture value than just "decide not to starve artists".
gollark: This is hard to distinguish. You can "make things" on a personal computer and such nowadays.
gollark: Interesting! I'm glad that's been resolved.
gollark: Which is possibly true in a lot of cases because of general-purpose computing abilities being slowly eroded, and interesting online platforms lacking (good) APIs, but still.
gollark: An issue with the Raspberry Pi and stuff for computing education is that they separate "programmable computers" and "normal computers" and might make people think they can't do interesting stuff with what they already have.
