Presentation
The highest point in the village is Mont Tourvéon (953 m altitude). It is the balcony overlooking the Upper Azergues Valley and the site of the legend of Ganelon.
It is in the territory of Chénelette that the AZERGUES and ARDIERES rivers originate, with cool banks, where the trout is queen.
The highest point in the village, Mont Tourvéon (953m), is where the legend of Ganelon begins. He is said to have paid for his betrayal of Roland (of Roncevaux) by being imprisoned in a barrel full of nails. This barrel was thrown from the top of Mont Tourvéon and shattered on the very spot where the village church was later built. The traitor died as a result.
