Tende is a French municipality in the heart of the Maritime Alps. It belonged to Italy until 1947, when it passed to France following the Treaty of Paris. The road that leads to the Tenda Pass starts from here and connects Cuneo and Piedmont. A curiosity, in this area the Brigasco dialect is spoken, a variant of Ligurian.

Striking view of the village arriving from the valley. Beautiful architecture and streets.

Since I did TNR and still saw the devastation caused by Storm Alex here in 2023, I bow in awe to the village's residents.

Tomorrow I'm going back to Tende; it won't let me go.
