Saint-Martin-Vésubie, Mountain commune in Alpes-Maritimes, France

Saint-Martin-Vésubie stands at 960 meters elevation in southeastern France, surrounded by mountains and valleys within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

The town emerged in the 12th century with archaeological evidence showing a Romanized indigenous population settlement dating back to the 1st century.

The medieval center extends along cliffs above the Valley of the Madonna, which formerly functioned as a salt transportation route from Piedmont to Nice.

The commune functions as an administrative center for the canton, offering public services and government facilities to residents of surrounding communities.

During World War II, Italian authorities provided sanctuary in Saint-Martin-Vésubie for thousands of Jewish refugees fleeing from Northern France.
