==Europe== ===France=== Three famed corniche roads of the [[CΓ΄te d'Azur]] in the [[French Riviera]] run between the sea and mountains from [[Nice]] eastward toward [[Menton]]. They are known as the ''{{lang|fr|Corniche Inferieure}}'' (or ''{{lang|fr|Basse Corniche}}''<ref>[http://www.lifeinriviera.com/guide/les-trois-corniches/#.WpNRuK6nHb0 Life in Riviera]</ref>) along the coast, the ''{{lang|fr|Moyenne Corniche}}'' slightly inland, and the ''{{lang|fr|Grande Corniche}}'' along the upper cliffs.<ref>[https://frenchmoments.eu/corniche-roads-of-the-french-riviera/ Roads of the French Rivera]</ref> The ''{{lang|fr|Corniche Inferieure}}'' passes through the principality of [[Monaco]]. The ''{{lang|fr|Grande Corniche}}'' featured prominently in the [[Alfred Hitchcock]] film ''[[To Catch a Thief]]''. ===Italy=== The [[Amalfi Drive]], along the [[Amalfi Coast]] south of Naples, is a road carved into the cliffs along the Tyrrhenian Sea, and can be classified as a corniche.
