The name means "Holy Faith, the silver-producer"; Sainte-Foy is equivalent to the common Spanish place-name Santa Fé, and the reference is to the silver mines around which the village grew.
The village is clustered around a kilometre-long main street , rising from the busy crossroads at the bottom to the high school . In the main square, linked to the church, there is a central castle belonging to Family de Fenoyl, a riverside football club and stadium sometimes visited by Olympique Lyonnais in the pre-season, and a sports and entertainment centre . A popular antiques fair, which draws in crowds of thousands, is held every September, and there are other annual cultural activities.
