Lachenal has got nearly 20 resident. It has, like the other villages, its chapel and its “bachals”, basin built with rocks, which deserve to make a break to be contemplated.
The hamlet of Lachenal (1300 m height) has got a real history well settle down with its beauty and its heritage.

Its chapel Saint Jean in front of the “Porte latine” has been built in 1703.
