Saint-Martin-Valmeroux, Medieval village in Maronne Valley, Cantal
Saint-Martin-Valmeroux is a commune situated at 650 meters elevation in the Cantal department, with the Maronne River running through its center and shaping the surrounding landscape. The river valley creates a natural setting that defines the character of this settlement.
This settlement took shape as a medieval community and developed over centuries in the Auvergne region. In 1973, the commune expanded substantially when it absorbed the neighboring territory of Saint-Rémy-de-Salers.
The church here features a square bell tower and Gothic portal details, with wooden statues inside that date back several centuries. These elements show how local craftspeople shaped the religious spaces that still stand at the heart of community life.
The commune provides basic services including a police station, schools, post office, and rescue center for its population of around 700 residents. These facilities are straightforward to access and located within the central area.
The Nozières mineral spring supplies the area with water rich in iron and other minerals that have long been valued for health benefits. This natural feature quietly defines part of the local environment in a way many visitors never notice.
