Article

Contes ( French pronunciation: [kɔ̃t]; Occitan: Còntes; Italian: Conti) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in south-eastern France.

Its inhabitants are Contois. Because the village sounds like the French word comte, the aristocratic title count, it called itself Pointe-Libre during the revolutionary period.
