LA TURBIE

'La Turbie' (from tropea, Latin for trophy) is a village and commune of the Alpes-Maritimes ''département'' in southeastern France.
The boundaries of La Turbie were formerly more extensive and included the territory now contained in the town of Beausoleil, formerly known as Haut-Monte-Carlo, owing to its proximity to Monaco. The commune of La Turbie retains a smaller, common boundary with part of the Principality.
La Turbie can be reached either from Cap d'Ail on the coast or the Grand Corniche. Within the town is the Trophy of Augustus, also known as the ''Trophée des Alpes''.
