Abstract
Sedimentary, tectonic, morphotectonic and rock mechanic data all show that the Tende pass site in the French-Italian Maritime Alps is a crus tal block which has been particularly mobile since at least the Upper Triassic era. This mobility has led to the development of an early dia pirism, which is still active. (C) Academie des sciences/Elsevier, Par is.
