Route Napoléon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Route Napoléon is the route taken by Napoléon in 1815 on his return from Elba. It is now a 325-kilometre section of the Route nationale 85.
The route begins at Golfe-Juan, where Napoleon disembarked 1 March 1815, inaugurating the Hundred Days that ended at Waterloo. It was inaugurated in 1932; it leads from the French Riviera to the southern Pre-Alps. It is marked along the way by the flying eagle symbol.
