The town takes its name from the Latin Fagus meaning "beech". This kind of name is quite old, it usually goes back to earlier periods in the 11th century (when the major clearing). The article "the" above was added later. The Dark is the name of the creek that runs through the town. As the communes of Lapleau and Marcillac-la-Croisille, there are still many vestiges of the "Transcorrézien" train of freight and passengers connecting Tulle and Ussel and halted at the station now beautifully restored. The railway also took the opportunity to supply water to the compact but powerful steam engine that tows the cars in this country very hilly terrain (visible near the village tank). This line, abandoned since 1959, was part of the network of trams in the Correze.
Lafage is a beautiful rich religious heritage: several stone crosses are visible in the village, the church itself is worth seeing and one of the last oratories (Oradour-language limousine) in the region rises north of it. The volumes of Oradour are fairly simple: it is square, its beautiful four-sided roof is covered with slate and crowned by a cross of zinc. The four pillars are square and chamfered. The treasure of the church is now preserved in the church of Lapleau, the play is most notable with the shrine a Christ in Majesty and dating back to the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries.
