The Route Napoléon, a 200-mile (322-kilometer) scenic road, traces part of Napoleon Bonaparte’s 1815 march from the Côte d’Azur to Paris. This historic path, which he took after escaping exile in Italy, now offers travelers a journey through diverse landscapes, from the Mediterranean coast to the heart of Provence and the French Alps. Along the way, visitors can explore medieval villages, enjoy panoramic mountain views, and experience the varied terrain that once bore witness to one of history’s most famous military campaigns.
