Nestled just outside Monaco, the village of La Turbie offers a glimpse into old Provence with its medieval Old Town. Dominating the landscape is the Trophy of the Alps, a Roman monument constructed around 7 BC and now the village’s most prominent sight. Visitors can explore the narrow, winding streets of the Old Town, which are lined with stone buildings that evoke a sense of history. From the elevated vantage point of the Trophy, one can enjoy sweeping views of the French Riviera, making La Turbie a charming blend of historical charm and scenic beauty.
