Route De La Napoleon

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