History
In ancient time, Aime was the capital city center of the gallic tribe called the Ceutrons. Conquered by Rome, probably around 20 BC, it became Axima, the capital city of the roman province of the Graian Alps (Latin:: Alpes Graiæ ; French: Alpes grées) which became later the Alpes Atrectianae et Poeninae. Its main landmark is the Basilica of Saint Martin.
Geography
The commune lies in the Tarentaise Valley, partly overlapping the ski resorts of La Plagne and Les Arcs.
