Relaxing walk... taking the dog out... a little panorama of the surrounding area...

Small, rather inconspicuous "tower".

Unmissable viewpoint

A must-see is the famous poultry market in Maringues

The town with the characteristic bridge is very nice to look at.

Located in the Limagne plain, Maringues is a village with a unique character. The city is rich in its past. Go here to explore the city of tanners and stop in front of the monumental statue of the tanner. Stroll through its charming streets and enjoy its market (Monday), one of the most typical in Auvergne.

This Romanesque style turret dates from the 12th century. It measures almost four meters high and was built from cut stone from the Ravel quarries located less than 15 kilometers away. Symbol of eternal light, the Lantern of the Dead is a mysterious construction.

The bridge crossing the Morge was the southern gateway to Maringues. It has been rebuilt several times and once supported one of the city gates. The Maringois called it “the lazy bridge”, because the day laborers were there, leaning on the railing, in the hope of being called by a tanner boss in need of manpower. The workers already at work below, seeing them with their arms dangling, called them lazy.
