Tournefort, Municipality in Alpes-Maritimes, France
Located at an elevation between 171 and 1,304 meters, Tournefort extends across 110 square kilometers in southeastern France near Nice.
The Knights Templar established a hospice and acquired lands in this territory during 1176, marking the beginning of recorded settlement in the area.
The old village contains the 17th-century Saint-Pierre church and the Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua, known as the Chapel of Penitents.
The current settlement relocated to La Colle area after the original village was gradually abandoned, with the last resident departing in 1938.
Fort Picciarvet, constructed between 1883 and 1890, stands as a military structure designed to protect the city of Nice.
