<div id="ygrps-yiv-676125752">I found some information on the village of Chatelat (in the <br/>
Dictionnaire Historique de la Suisse, <br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.snl.ch/dhs/externe/protect/textes/fF405.html)">http://www.snl.ch/dhs/externe/protect/textes/fF405.html)</a>. It is, <br/>
indeed, an old Mennonite colony. Having more than 55% Germanophones <br/>
in 1990, this was two-thirds at the start of the 20th century (and <br/>
the total population has diminished considerably since).<br/>
