Geography

Basseneville is located in the Pays d'Auge some 12 km east of Caen and 8 km south-east of Cabourg. Access to the commune is by the D675 road from Goustranville in the east which passes through the south of the commune continuing south-west to Saint-Samson. The D224A also comes from Saint-Samson and passes through the commune continuing north-east to join the D224 just north-east of the commune. The A13 autoroute passes through the commune from east to west but has no exit - the nearest exit is Exit Dozulé to the east of the commune which has no direct access the commune and Exit to the south-west which connects to the D675. Apart from the village there are the hamlets of L'Église, Les Marettes, Saint-Richer, and La Chollerie. The commune is entirely farmland.

The Dives river forms the north-western border of the commune as it flows north-east to join the sea at Cabourg. The Grand Canal forms the south-eastern border of the commune.
