The parishes of Florimont and Gaumier, which merged in 1827 by Prefectorial Order, were documented as early as the Xiiith century under the names, "Floridus Mons and Gaumerium". The parishes are rich in history and tradition, as evidenced by the various Château, roman
churches and the maisons nobles, many of which are listed buildings.

For many centuries, Florimont Gaumier has been reputed for its fine wines, until the vines were diseased with the arrival of phylloxera. Happily, the vines made a full recovery and the Vins de Domme grows in many of the fields surrounding Les Terrasses de Gaumier. The chai for the Vins de Domme is up the road from Les Terrasses and welcomes visitors to tour the chai, try and buy the wine. An observatory tower is being constructed so that visitors can view the vineyards.
