Étroubles
Étroubles (Valdôtain: Étroble) is a comune (municipality) in the Italian region of Aosta Valley. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").[3]
Sights include a bell tower from a now disappeared 15th century Romanesque church and a medieval watchtower (built in the 12th century on a Roman foundation).
History
In Roman times, it was known as Restapolis and was the main centre in the Grand-Saint-Bernard Valley. It perhaps housed the local garrison watching the main access from Gaul. In medieval times, it was a stage on the Via Francigena.
Napoleon stayed at Étroubles on 20 May 1800, during his march to Marengo and the eponymous battle.
