MONTCHARVET

This hamlet lies at an altitude of 1260m on the south-west gypsum slopes of Dent du Villard. The area around the hamlet was extensively farmed and you can still see harvest terraces and hayfields. Saint-Grat Chapel (prior to 1655) is now a ruin. Residents prayed to Saint-Grat to protect the harvest. It was abandoned at the end of the 50s due to a lack of water. Now only one house is occupied and another is under renovation.
