Geography

History

The Morcenx area, bordered by the Bez and its tributaries, seems to have been occupied since prehistoric times. Flint tools, domestic furniture, and a cinerary (cremation ashes) box from the 1st Iron Age have been found there.

The church Saint Pierre de Morcencz was mentioned in the Liber rubeus in the 12th century.
