Starting at the foot of the old castle fortifications, the street stretches under the Horloge tower before leading to the village center.

The street owes its name to Béatrice dite "de Tende", a historical figure born at the end of the XIVᵉ century. While tradition has long linked her to the Lascaris family, more recent historiographical work has established that she actually belonged to the Cane family, another influential lineage from Piedmont.
Widowed on the death of her first husband, Beatrice contracted a second marriage with the Duke of Milan, who saw in this union the opportunity to appropriate his wife's vast estates. Shortly afterwards, he accused her of adultery and ordered her execution by beheading in 1418.
Beatrice de Tende's tragic destiny subsequently fed the Romantic imagination of the XIXᵉ century, inspiring Vincenzo Bellini's opera Beatrice di Tenda, premiered in 1833.
