Source text - French Denicé était très réputé pour ses marchés aux cochons, les habitants étaient alors surnommés les "Lingueux" car ils étaient experts pour tâter les langues des animaux et déceler leurs maladies. Le marché aux cochons qui se tenait aux Maisons Neuves, a disparu en 1914. Une promenade autour du bourg vous permettra de visiter des hameaux pittoresques et la Chapelle-de Chevennes de style gothique flamboyant.
Translation - English Denicé was once famous for its Pig Market. The inhabitants of the village even had a special nickname, they were called 'Lingueux' because they were experts at rubbing the pigs' tongues to see if any of the beasts were suffering from illnesses. The Pig Market which was held at Maisons Neuves ceased trading in 1914. As you travel around the commune you will come across picturesque hamlets and be able to appreciate the flamboyant Gothic architecture of the Chapelle-de-Chevennes.

Translation - English Piles of negroes, strewn about by whips and chains, whites of their eyes glaring, trussed together like so many hauled up crabs, bodies scratched, wounded, some bleeding from the friction of the chains, some wallowing in vomit and excrement, soiled, writhing as the sailors drenched them with buckets of sea water.....
