La Turbie is a village and commune of the Alpes-Maritimes département in southeastern France. It contains the Trophy of Augustus.
The boundaries of La Turbie were formerly more extensive and included the territory now contained in the town of Beausoleil, formerly known as Haut-Monte-Carlo, owing to its proximity to Monaco. The commune of La Turbie retains a smaller, common boundary with part of the Principality.
