Figa Néra was the name of Figanières in the 10th century, a Latin word recalling the "Black Flight" of the Saracens who, according to legend, were repelled around 950 by the inhabitants.
To commemorate this victory, the Cistercian monks erected the votive chapel of Notre-Dame des Oliviers.
At Figanières, there is the authentic "li troun lou veraï".
