Le Fidelaire … the origin of the toponym is clearer than it seems when we know that the Latin fagus (the beech) gave fayou fi: the Fidelaire is therefore the Fi of the Aire, that is to say the beech near which is the area where the peasants thresh the wheat. In the twelfth. There was one of the five chapels in the forest of Goms, dedicated to Saint Eloi. All were given in 1123 to the abbey of Conches which henceforth had the patronage. This was confirmed to the monks by the bishop of Évreux in 1239. Source https://www.sauvegardeartfrancais.fr/projets/fidelaire-le-eglise-saint-eloi/
