Lodging in Tende

Very Ikea but much preferred over any kind of hotel: it has a kitchen

Simple but spacious

Tende looked a bit the worse for wear

More of an Italian hill village than a part of the Côte d'Azur

Distressed?

But behind the grubby facades, an interesting village

What remains of a chateau

Church

Church from further up the hillside

We climbed towards les Rochers de St-Sauveur

There is a long via ferrata along these cliffs

We stayed on the trail

At the top, a route that we could've taken back down but did not

Looking back across the valley of La Roya

Surprisingly dangerous trail!

We preferred this

We took the side trail to the chapel

Said chapel

Back down in the town: verticality
