Surinam is a large village in the hinterland of Riambel,
west of Souillac, on the south coast.
The estate bearing the same name belonged to Janvier Monneron
when it was visited by Milbert in 1801.
Monneron built a sugar factory before 1817, which stopped its activities in 1886.
As is was often the case, once the sugar factory dismantled, it left its name to the village.
