Although
the old village of Montclar no longer exists, since it was destroyed in
the 16th century during the religious wars, there remain a few houses
and hay barns scattered in a wooded vale overlooked by some high peaks.
Above all, there is the La Salette chapel and its clock tower dating from
the 19th century, the Saint-Léger chapel (no doubt built by the
Knights Templars in the 13th century) and the Château de Montclar
dating from the 17th century. The latter is still owned by the family
that acquired it during the Revolution, and is not open to the public.
