About This Route

Follow the path of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815 upon his return from Elba. This historical route winds through the foothills of the Alps in the Provence and Hautes-Alpes regions. It offers stunning lavender fields and dramatic limestone mountains. The road is scenic and less extreme than the high passes, but still involves winding climbs that require focus in a vintage van.
