Archeological museum

Located on Saint Sigismond Hill, this site traces the history of human life from the Neolithic period to modern times: prehistoric tools, funerary artifacts, Gallo-Roman architecture, jewelry, ceramics, and coins bear witness to the earliest human settlements in the Tarentaise region. These artifacts trace the history of Aime, a city of the Gallic tribe known as the “Ceutrons,” which became the capital of the Roman province of the “Alpes Graies” in 21 B.C.
The story begins in the Neolithic era and races forward to the present day.

The museum is named after the mayor of Aime, a visionary who, anticipating the closure of the La Plagne mines, rallied other municipalities to found the resort of La Plagne.

Today, the Aime Society of History and Archaeology manages the museum’s collections, which are designated as a “Musée de France.” Tours and visitor services are provided jointly with La Plagne Vallée.
