• Municipality there are still entirely rural sixties with plum, vineyards, wheat fields and pastures, Foulayronnes gradually transformed into a suburban city in places, and Artigues Caoulet including, but has harmoniously to preserve its natural rural environment.
• History:

• Tell the story of Foulayronnes it would not take into account that the official date of the creation of the joint, that is to say October 29, 1795. But no one can say without bragging and write that this territory has been trod by man since the end of the prehistoric period. Attest to the reality of many caves in the cliffs listed in the municipality, as well as the presence of a mound at a place called "Marmande" near Lake Talives or the remains found in the grounds of the Gallic oppidum the Tibetan plateau. The Gallo-Roman period, meanwhile, has left traces of his passage, if only by the names of hamlets and Cayssac Pauilhac (the villa of Cassius in the first and the second Paulius). A Cayssac, near the site of the church in ruins, were found by individual objects show the presence of a Gallo-Roman villa.
• In the fifth and sixth centuries, probably not Foulayronnes escapes to the creation of rural parishes. Places dedicated to the worship outside the city are probably made of wood or installed on the site of pagan offertories or dependencies in Gallo-Roman ruins. Proximity to sources or fountains whose water has some virtues is often conducive to the creation of a Christian site. The church of the valley Vives, the present valley of Verona may well have found its place beside the fountain in some writings sometimes called Saint Martin Fontaine.
• From the 5th to the 10th century, Foulayronnes as all the country was the victim of repeated incursions and crossings of the many barbarian peoples. The following Charlemagne will be a period during which the lords hold their power from and around the faith. Appear when the churches and chapels built of stone. The oldest is that of Foulayronnes to Cayssac (in ruins now) that it is possible to date according to some writings of the period 1060-1070.

Via the trade routes of that time, pilgrims of all ranks and from all backgrounds, but mainly of nobles, clergymen and merchants, went to Galicia from Paris, Vézelay, Le Puy-en-Velay and Arles. The valley Vives was one of those secondary roads that rallied the path of Ténarèze.
• It is said that stopping at the fountain of Saint Martin for drinking, they were surprised by highwaymen, who, hidden in the recesses of the cliff nearby, watching their path. Pilgrims often went, taking with them their gold and valuables. Thieves no longer had to use ... The place was there a cut-throat or just a place notorious for petty theft? Never any "traveler" has left no written record, but the fact remains that the fountain took the word of Latronum Fons, who will become the name of the locality. By deformations of the spoken language, but also probably errors calligraphy, Fons Latronum, take the place of the name Foulayronnes.
• When in 1795, municipalities were created, it was not a name like Hamlet Artigues, Le Caoulet, Cayssac, Monbran, Pauilhac or St. Julien, who was chosen, but that of the locality of the fountain, so Foulayronnes .

• The numerous species of native trees that have grown are marked with labels which contain the common name and scientific.
