Hotel&Restaurant Armanac de Toubïe

A walking tour rich in attractions: the marvellous Saint Martin’s Parish in Arnad, perhaps the main attraction along Via Francigena in our itinerary in Val d’Aosta; cross the two ancient bridges of Echallod and Bard, a pretty village dominated by a fort which is also the site of the Alps Museum; and, most of all, the entrance to Donna, along the Roman street of the Gauls, before finishing the itinerary in front of Pont Saint Martin, the Roman bridge. Road-houses in Hone, Bard, Donnas....

A segment full of cultural ideas: crossing the Bard bridge, a delightful village dominated by the fort which houses the Museum of the Alps; and above all the entrance to Donnas, along the Roman road to the Gauls.
