The local population lived by farming and raising livestock. With no local springs or water sources, rainwater was collected in cisterns. Life was hard, and families helped each other to get by.
Maintained by the association "Les Sentiers de Saint Alban-Leysse", in agreement with the municipality, the Four de Razerel is an emblem of the local heritage.
