In the 14th century, the population of Faycelle was so decimated by the plague, the Hundred Years War and the periods of deprivation that in 1394, there were practically no more inhabitants in the village. From the 15th century onwards, the population grew steadily again and exceeded 1000 inhabitants for the first time in 1785. In 1840, the peak was finally reached with 1241 inhabitants. From there, the curve fell again. Because of the peranospera, viticulture had to be abandoned and the population fell to 824 inhabitants in 1911. Then comes the 1st World War in which Faycelle must also pay a heavy price. 38 young men and fathers did not return from the war. The mechanization of agriculture then contributed to a constant decrease in the number of inhabitants, which finally reached 463 in 1968. A successful recovery was then initiated, based on tourism and new settlements. In 2014, Faycelle again had 650 inhabitants.

In the village you will find a good brasserie and bar which caters to the needs of hikers. Bed and breakfasts are available in the surrounding area. A few years ago, painters settled here, whose paintings can be seen in a gallery.
