A corniche is a road on the side of a cliff or mountain, with the ground rising on one side and falling away on the other. The word has been absorbed into English from the French term {{lang|fr|route à corniche}} or "road on a ledge", originally derived from the Italian {{lang|it|cornice}}, for "ledge".
