Saint-Sulpice-de-Mareuil ( Occitan Sent Soplesí de Maruelh ) is a town and commune Déléguée in the French commune of Mareuil en Périgord of 112 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) in the northwest of the department Dordogne in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine . The commune déléguée area is also an integral part of the Périgord-Limousin Regional Natural Park .
etymology
Saint-Sulpice, Occitan Sent Soplesí (s) , derives from Saint Sulpicius ( Sanctus Sulpicius ).
geography
Saint-Sulpice-de-Mareuil is four kilometers east-northeast of Mareuil and 14 kilometers west-southwest of Nontron (beeline).
The community was surrounded by the following neighboring communities:
- Rudeau-Ladosse in the north
- Champeaux-et-la-Chapelle-Pommier to the east
- Vieux-Mareuil in the south
- Mareuil in the southwest and
- Puyrenier to the west.
The Commune déléguée Saint-Sulpice-de-Mareuil consists of the town center and the following hamlets, farms, castles, a mill and a forge:
Château de Bonrecueuil , Château La Faye , Château Lavergne (or la Vergne), Corneuil , Daunières , Faucharias , La Ferme (de Lavergne), La Forge de Rudeau , La Gonterie , La Roderie , La Roussie , Lâge , Lameau , Le Genet , Le Moulin de Connezac , Le Pout (Poût), Piacaud and Pommier .
The northern border of the Commune déléguée to Rudeau-Ladosse is formed by the Nizonne flowing to the west . Left branches of the Nizonne are a small valley that flows into the Nizonne south of Rudeau. It rises on the south-eastern border at Le Genet and is seasonally dry. Furthermore, a smaller branch rises south of the town center and flows into the Nizonne just before the mill Le Moulin de Connezac . A small dry valley finally forms the north-western border to Puyrenier. There are two other small dry valleys near the hamlet of La Roderie . All of these valleys face north towards the Nizonne.
The topographically lowest point in the territory of the commune Déléguée of Saint-Sulpice-de-Mareuil was 115 meters above the sea on the Nizonne at Champellat (Commune Déléguée Puyrenier) on the northwest corner, the highest point of 225 meters was located south of the location of the southern border with Vieux-Mareuil. The absolute height difference was 110 meters. The Commune déléguée thus occupies the north side of a ridge that slopes slightly north to the Nizonne.
geology
The Commune déléguée Saint-Sulpice-de-Mareuil is underlain in its entirety by flat sediments of the northern Aquitaine basin . The sediments dip at a maximum of up to 8 ° to the south-southwest and structurally still belong to the north wing of the Combiers-Saint-Crépin-de-Richemont syncline . The oldest open formation is the Turonium , more precisely the Angoulême Formation of Angoumiens . It consists of resistant rudist limestones , which often form a morphological layer rib in the terrain. The Angoumien is followed by the rather hard fossil limestone of the Coniacium . The coniacium usually has sandy limestone and fine sands at its base and closes with oyster limes. The center of Saint-Sulpice-de-Mareuil is built on Coniacium. Santonium is laid over the coniacium , starting with the lower canton (gray, platy, glauconite-containing chalk limestone ). The upper chalk sediments end with the middle and upper cantons - marly limestone with oyster shill and silty limestone containing glauconite and finally sands . The southern altitudes are covered by colluvium that emerged from the sands of Obersanton ( ACC formation ). The rearrangement of these alterites occurred during the Pleistocene . The left side valley opposite Rudeau is filled with debris from the Würm period . The sediments in the Nizonne floodplains come from the Holocene .
