By naming this range in honour of the epic of Capitan Ravoire – a valiant knight in the 16th century in the Comtat Venaissin in 1593 - Olivier Ravoire was keen to highlight the history of the Ravoire family. In this respect, the different appellations have been named using terms associated with chivalry.
