• Its location:

• Mariol is a small French village, located in the department of Allier and the Auvergne region. Its inhabitants are Mariolis and Mariolaises. Surrounded by surrounding communities as Ris, Saint-Priest-Bramefant and Mons Mariol is located 13 km south-east of Vichy, the largest city nearby.
• Located at the entrance of a natural path of the Mountain Bourbonnais, Mariol, away from main traffic routes, has a peaceful nature. The village is traversed throughout its length by a stream, the Darot.

• His story:

• A part explained by the crossing of the river Allier, with the penetration of the Mountain Bourbonnaise and fluctuating boundaries of the provinces of Auvergne and Bourbonnais.
• Originally installed on the immediate banks of the Allier, instead of "Les Grands Vaux, its inhabitants have been driven by wars of religion in the second half of the 16th century. They found refuge near the castle, which was a resort for children for many years, it is now renovated into several apartments by Dutchmen. The castle protected the natural gateway to the mountains with the military structures that were the castles of Maulmont, Piégut, Forion.
• Village Winemaker of smallholders engaged in mixed farming and livestock, most older houses retain the appearance of a farm with the barn and stables. The vines produced a nice little wine that reminded the Holy Pourçain. King Henry the fourth could enjoy it on its way to the castle Busset. But these vines have been uprooted because of phylloxera. Residents have become managers or workers in St. glassworks Yorre Puy-Guillaume or Vichy. The mansions housed the largest owners.

• Origin of name:

• Mariol would mean an end Gallic Grand Champs. The original village called Grand Valley and Grand Vaux. Mariol is Latin mas mansium: house and revolvers, rivus: stream, or house near the creek.
• In local dialect, Mariol Mariou said: it is close to Latin roots in French ru = rio = Spanish rivers.
• In the Middle Ages, a Mariolle was a holy picture or a statue bearing the likeness of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as the votive festival of the town which is scheduled for September 8, the date of the Nativity of the Virgin, one would be led suggests that this religious event is recalled in the name Mariol cited devoted to Mary mother of Jesus. A hypothesis that may have followers.
• The name Mariol was that of a brave soldier of Napoleon, born in the Southwest. This "Mariol" military was famous for his incessant bragging. Hence the phrase, frequently used in everyday language: do mariol, be interesting.
• Let us preferably Latin etymology or Gallic. Although acceptance "house near the creek" seems really rather attractive in so far as it evokes one of the first elements of the historic village.
• Remember that Mariol, was a common farmers and growers. In 1852, there were 917 inhabitants. This was the third Napoleon who, during his short stay in Vichy had established the route to Chateau-Gaillard Busset. The pond located close (hamlet Foucaud) bears the name of the emperor. So it was a large agricultural town with weekly markets.

It has retained its square towers at the corners, ogee moldings above the windows. The moat is fed by the Darot. After being lauded for many years to a summer camp, it is always restored and transformed into several apartments (not open).

• Saint-Cyr-et-Saint-Julitte: The parish of the former diocese of Clermont was the presentation of the archpriest of Cusset. The church was rebuilt in 1881 by architect Jean-Baptiste Moreau on a Latin cross, neo-Gothic. The term of the building refers to Julitte Cyr and his son, of Syrian origin, martyred in Tarsus. Cyr, who was less than three years would, according to the Golden Legend, suffered a huge number of torments, his executioners would, among other torture, tried to cut in half, hence its status as patron of sawyers .
• Cross Mission: Established in 1885. On a pole stone neo-Gothic stands an iron cross at the foot of which stand two angels. It probably reflects the transition from a mission in the neighborhood, and in a context of re-Christianization campaigns in which the wave of the 19th century were many precedents in all regions of France.
