Couesmes-Vaucé (French pronunciation: [kwɛm vose]) is a commune in the Mayenne department in north-western France. It was created in 1973 by the merger of two former communes: Couesmes-en-Froulay and Vaucé.[3]

Couesmes-Vaucé is a small commune, with only 300 properties and as of the 2019 census 378 inhabitants.

Couesmes-Vaucé is close to both Normandy and Brittany and lies roughly 50 miles from the surrounding cities of Rennes, Caen and Le Mans. The village is situated in the heart of an agricultural region noted for its good food and cider.

There is a thriving and well integrated English community that has been established over the past thirty years.
