Fa is a small village in the hills west of Espéraza. Fa is somewhat interesting, with a medieval "Visigoth" chateau tower on the hill, a 15th-century church, and a few nice panels about history of village.

The small Faby river runs through the village, and there's a covered market at one end.
We asked a few local people about the derivation of the name Fa, but none seemed to know. Two young men pretended to know, and wove a very imaginative story. And two elderly, knitting women though hard but couldn't remember anything. Then we found a nearby information panel that explained all: it was from the Latin word Fanum, meaning temple.
