History
[edit]Initially, Ronaye and Fayet were two separate villages, hence the presence of a church in both of them. They used to belong to the family of Grellet de la Deyte in XVIII century. Benoît Grellet de la Deyte was seigneur of Saint-Quentin (in the Somme Department)and of Fayet-Ronaye. Feudal remains (presumably, ruins of the family castle of Grellet de la Deyte) are situated between Frissonet, one of the hamlets of Fayet-Ronaye, and Saint-Germain-l'Herm.

According to the researcher Coste ( "Supplément au monument druidique de Tuniac" ),[4]a burial mound, known as the Dissard's tumulus, located 1 km south away from the center of the village, contained the rests of the druidic chef and his Celtic supporters chased by the army ofMarcus Licinius Crassus.The site had been a high place of veneration for the locals.[5]Other researchers argue that the whole legend is a fake.[6]
Cromlech of Frissonnet
[edit]Situated between Fayet and Saint-Germain-l'Herm, theCromlechof Frissonnet represents a square formed with megalithic standing stones.
