Marsac is a commune in the Hautes-Pyrénées department in south-western France.[1] Like most villages it has a church in this case one built in 1882 and dedicated to St Andre. The church bell is much older as it is dated 1683. More unusually on a roundabout near the town hall stands a public weighing machine that was built over 100 years ago.[2]
