Figanières is a Provençal village surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. In the Jardin des Senteurs, a pergola path covered in fragrant greenery leads to a circular square. The garden was created on the 1,500 m² site of the ruins of the Château des Comtes de Vintimille, the lords of Figanières. A viewing terrace in the Jardin des Senteurs overlooks the village of Figanières.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame de l’Olivier (Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-l’Olivier) was built outside the walls of Figanières at the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century and was probably the former parish church of the village of Figanières. The Church of Saint-Hermentaire is also located in the area around Figanières.
Other historical witnesses in the wider region include the ruins of the Abbaye de Florièyes, Fort Camp de la Lègue and Fort Camp des Caïs. The reliquary bust of Saint Pons is protected by a wrought-iron grille from the 17th century, which was added to the inventory of historic monuments in 1912.
