Route Napoléon

  • The Route Napoléon is winding but very smooth—great news for those new to driving in France.
  • Though Bonaparte traveled from south to north, today's drivers often prefer doing his route in reverse for the best views of the Mediterranean.
  • Monuments commemorating Bonaparte’s journey dot the entire route, but if you want to follow in his footsteps, online maps show you everything from where he ate to the places he slept.
  • Hikers and horseback riders can’t follow the Route Napoléon road strictly, but they stop in many of the same towns.
