With 114 residents this is the least populous comune in the Aosta Valley. The church of Bruil was consecrated in 1495, but became a parish only in June 1650, when it stopped depending on Rhêmes-Saint-Georges; church and bell tower were rebuilt in 1680. On the shore of Lake Pellaud stands an old hydroelectric plant, and on the second-to-last Sunday of July the valley's craftsmen meet here, as they have since 1986.
