Carte de Tendre:The Map of Tendre (Carte de Tendre or Carte du Tendre) was a French map of an imaginary country named Tendre, created by several hands (including Catherine de Rambouillet). It appeared as an engraving (attributed to François Chauveau) in the first part of Madeleine de Scudéry's 1654-61 novel Clélie. The map represents the path towards love according to the précieuses (cosmopolitan literary and social personalities) of the time period. Inspired by such map, we musically perform the three paths to Tendre through these three suites based on the map.
