view Population: Most of the population speak a French dialect. Agriculture is mostly based on vineyards, and the raising of cows allows a rich production of milk and cheese.

Unforgettable are the astounding castles on top of high rocks and one of the few casinos authorized in Italy, in the elegant center of Saint Vincent.
