The Maronne (French pronunciation: [maʁɔn]) is a 92.6-kilometre (57.5 mi) long river in the Cantal and Corrèze departments in south central France.[1] Its source is several small streams joining near Récusset, a hamlet in Saint-Paul-de-Salers. It flows generally west. It is a left tributary of the Dordogne, into which it flows between Argentat and Monceaux-sur-Dordogne.
