Culture and history
The Portail Saint Michel is a 14th-century gateway with a pointed arch topped by a rounded arch added in the 15th century. It is the only surviving one of the village’s three medieval gates and provided access to the Saint-Michel priory on the opposite bank of the Chauranne stream.
The Temple du Villard was built in 1851 and is the largest temple in the Hautes-Alpes département. Château d'Agoult has a tower whose ground floor consists of large, carefully laid stone blocks; the corners are faced with rusticated ashlar blocks and pierced with simple loopholes.
A memorial at the Col du Monument commemorates young members of the Resistance who were killed by German troops in 1944. A GR trail leads from the Col du Monument to the commune of Montbrand.
In the wider area around La Beaume are the historic Abbaye de Valcroissant site and the Église Saint-Julien church.
