The absence of decoration on the facades and the simple frames reflect a modest habitat turned towards agriculture. In 2019, the village merged with Usseau and Priaires to form the new commune of Val-du-Mignon and became a delegated commune with Usseau as its chief town.
Thorigny has the Notre-Dame church at its heart and, with the smallest number of inhabitants, forms a large family. The village is a farming and stockbreeding centre, and every summer it organises farmers' markets in its park, as well as its traditional country fair on the last weekend in August. It is also the starting point for four hiking and mountain bike trails.
