- The name appears to Luçay first century, the country of Lucius which means Light. This man was a veteran legions Caesar, the master of the Gallo-Roman. He moved there to colonize the area in the Roman style, where you have self-sufficient, have water, able to grow wheat, raise grapes and grazing animals. His character was so bad, his brutality towards his servants and slaves so bad that the country kept the name of evil (bad). This is the 18th century that evil has become "The Male".

- From the Gallo-Roman period in the early Middle Ages, there is no document, no evidence on the history of the country. Only the name of Luçay through the centuries and attests to the permanence of a city at the site of the former estate of Lucius.
- The country was evangelized and probably in the 4th century, having established a parish of Saint Martin in passing.
