Figarol: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Accommodation in Figarol
Culture and History
Figarol brings together several traces of its history. In the Middle Ages, the village was dependent on the Templar commandery of Montsaunès. The parish church of Saint-Michel stands in the centre of the present-day village. It was built in the second half of the 19th century and has a Latin cross floor plan.
In the hamlet of Tépé, the former Saint-Michel church recalls an earlier era: it is Romanesque in style and today survives only as a ruin. Tépé is also home to a washhouse on the site of a former Templar chapel. Its rectangular basin is fed by a spring on the hillside.
Annual events in Figarol include a village festival. Garbure is also associated with these festivities.
