Saint-André-de-la-Roche (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.t‿ɑ̃dʁe la ʁɔʃ]; Occitan: Sant Andrieu de la Ròca; Italian: Sant'Andrea di Nizza, before 2001: Saint-André)[3] is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France.

Until the 50s, in this small city there was a mountain with the shape of a shape-pyramid, similar to ancient pyramids from old civilizations. The pyramid was demolished 70 years ago to build a car-road.[4]
