"Miramande" originates from "mirus" and "mandare" Named Mirmanda in the 12th century, Catrum Mirimandae in the 13th century, Mirimanda and Miremande in the 16th century and finally Mirmande in the 17th century. Mirmande was dominated by lords from the 18th century until the French Revolution. The St Foy Church was left to abandon and in a state of partial collapse in the 20th century. Due in part to a law exempting houses without roofs from taxes, many owners demantled their roofing and degenerated houses were rebought according to the number of roof tiles. The rebirth of the village can be attributed to numerous artists... André Lhote (1885-1962), writer and cubist painter contributed significantly to the revival of Mirmande.
