The town therefore has a long history. It was born as a settlement of ancient independent tribes and in Roman times it was an important military garrison and a well-known trade center outside of Gaul. In the Middle Ages it was the seat of feudal lords who ruled the territories of the upper valley, until the conquest of the Kingdom of France.
