European Heritage Days - Pierre Borrione Archaeological Museum

Situated on Saint Sigismond hill, the museum presents local life from Neolithic times to the present day with prehistoric tools, funerary furniture, gallo-roman architecture, jewellery, pottery and coins that bear witness to the first occupation of the Tarentaise valley by man. These objects retrace the history of Aime, from when it was the Gallic town known as "Les Ceutrons" and then, in 21 B.C., capital of the Roman province called "Les Alpes Graies".
The story begins in the Neolithic period and runs through to the present day.

The museum is named after a former mayor of Aime who was a visionary. He foresaw the closing of the mines in La Plagne and assembled the local communes to found the resort of La Plagne.

The Aime Historical and Archaeological Society now manages the collections of the museum, now classified a 'Musée de France'. Tours and reception are carried out in conjunction with the Plagne Vallée tourist office.
