Montorcier stands in Saint-Jean-Saint-Nicolas (Hautes-Alpes), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

At Saint-Jean-Saint-Nicolas, in the Hautes-Alpes, once stood the site of Montorcier, a former lordship of the upper Champsaur region. The Dauphins of Viennois had a lavish residence built there, one frequented on several occasions by the future King Louis XI while he was still dauphin. The site preserves the memory of this princely presence in what is now a rural valley.
