TOWN PRESENTATION
  • History:
  • Mirmande originates from "mirus" (beautiful) and "Mandara" (someone in charge). Called Mirmand the twelfth century Castrum Mirimandae the thirteenth century, Mirimanda and Miremande the sixteenth century and finally Mirmande the 17th century.
  • First mentioned in 1238, the village is an old property of Adhemar, who yielded to the bishop of Valencia. In the mid-fourteenth century, the town is growing and a second wall, still visible today, delimits. The seventeenth century saw the village grow outside the walls, but in the nineteenth century Mirmande grows with sericulture (cultivation of silkworms) which supports nearly 3 000 people. With the decline of the economy, the village is experiencing difficult times: the twentieth century saw the abandonment and collapse part of the church Sainte-Foy. Moreover, a law exempting from taxes the houses without roofs, many homeowners who have left the village to discover homes that they have yet, so they quickly fall into disrepair. When purchased, the price is determined by the number of remaining tiles on the roof. The village is reborn thanks to the many artists who settled there more or less permanently. Andre Lhote (1885 - 1962), cubist painter and writer, contributes to the renewal of Mirmande.
  • Located in a landscape of hills, Mirmande is a typical hilltop village in the Drôme. Botany Village with its rock garden flowers, Mirmande among the 100 most beautiful villages of France.
