Saint-Martin-Vésubie

Saint-Martin-Vésubie (; Vivaro-Alpine: Sant Martin de Lantosca; , formerly) is a commune of the Alpes-Maritimes department, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France. Established on the edge of a glacial plate, it was named after the Vésubie, a local river.

==History== ===Early years=== San Martin first appears in recorded history in the 12th century, although there are archaeological remnants of a Romanized indigenous population dating back to the 1st century. The medieval castrum extends along a cliff overlooking Valley of the Madonna through which ran the old Salt Road that extended from the Piedmont to the port city of Nice.
