Large wooded tired garden open grassed areas, wonderful for children to run around. The pool is set in the grounds to one area slightly apart from the cottage behind a pool fence and surrounded by mature trees and a high stone wall. There is more than ample parking.

Figanières sits on a ridge overlooking the southeast, and the old part of the village is very compact, with the typical tall buildings nestled up together in a very picturesque style. The most prominent building, sitting up at the top at the Place Saint-Michel, is the church which was rebuilt in 1848. Small roads wind up and down over the hill, between the buildings, and open onto many pleasant little squares with benches and often with fountains.

The Jardin des Senteurs, in the old village, is a walled garden with aromatic plants and an Atelier de Santonnier  figurines. Unfortunately, there's no indication of when the garden is open.

The fields to the southeast of the village produce "Provence" wine, and the local Cooperative Vinicole is at the edge of the village. The region also produces olives and olive oil. On the small road going across the fields to the northeast, to Callas, pass through endless olive orchards.
