Conflans

Perched at the top of a rocky escarpment (412m), Conflans the medieval dominates the confluence of Arly and Isère. To enter Conflans through the Porte de Savoie is to go back in history. Sheltered behind its 14th century enclosure, it has kept its charm intact. Streets and alleys remained the same as in the days of the Green Count, Amédée VI, Count of Savoy. On the Roman road from Milan to Vienne (Isère) via the Petit Saint-Bernard pass, Conflans has seen merchants, hawkers and pilgrims passing through the centuries. Today, it is in the heart of the city that the Conflarans and Albertvillois like to meet. Flower houses, old stalls or workshops have become art or craft shops, galleries, cafes or restaurants.

Aimé

This town, well settled in its green bed, has a tradition of passage and hospitality that dates back 7000 years. It was around 5000 years before Jesus Christ that the first men chose to settle here in what is called “The Tarin Cradle”. They concluded, without being mistaken, the future will show it, a true pact of confidence with the Mountain. The Tarentaise, Le Beaufortain, Le Val d´Arly, Le Val Montjoie and Le Val de Chamonix won against the first attempts at Roman invasions. The second assault around -14 BC struck harder, and these provinces surrendered. The then Roman emperor, Augustus, united them in a single administrative and geographical entity under the name of “The Province of the Graian Alps”. He designated Aime as the most important city and made it the capital under the name of Axima, of the Roman god: Aximus, protector of the sources.
