Photo – Situated in the Mercantour National Park near the Italian border, Tende is a picturesque medieval village in the Alpes-Maritimes department. Surrounded by dramatic alpine peaks, the village is known for its narrow cobblestone streets, slate-roofed houses, and the distinctive ochre and green facades that give it a unique charm. Perched at an altitude of around 800 meters, Tende offers stunning views of the Roya Valley and is a gateway to a range of outdoor activities including hiking, mountaineering, and wildlife watching.
Tende was part of Italy until 1947. After World War II, the region was ceded to France under the Treaty of Paris. As a result, the village retains a strong Italian cultural influence, visible in its architecture, local dialect, and even family names.
