Maurens ( Occitan : Maurencs ) is a village and a former municipality with 1,050 inhabitants (as of January 1 2017) in the Dordogne department in southwestern France in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine (before 2016 Aquitaine ). Maurens belonged to the Arrondissement of Périgueux and the canton of Périgord Central (until 2015: Canton of Villamblard ).
