Tende

Tende occupies the upper Roya Valley in the Maritime Alps of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The town stands close to the Italian border, amid steep slopes and routes that have long connected the coast with the mountain interior. Its compact old quarter retains stone houses, narrow passages and the Baroque church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption. Tende is also associated with the Vallée des Merveilles in Mercantour National Park, where thousands of prehistoric rock engravings are preserved; the town’s Musée des Merveilles interprets this remarkable archaeological legacy. Formerly part of Italy, Tende became French in 1947. Continue to other webcams in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur to compare mountain valleys and Mediterranean settings around the region.
