Route Napoléon

The Route Napoléon is the route taken by Napoleon I in 1815 on his return from Elba.[1] It is now concurrent with sections of routes N85,[1][2] D1085, D4085, and D6085.

The route begins at Golfe-Juan, where Napoleon disembarked on 1 March 1815,[1] beginning the Hundred Days that ended at Waterloo.[3] The road was inaugurated in 1932[2] and meanders from the French Riviera north-northwest along the foothills of the Alps.[1][2] It is marked along the way by statues of the French Imperial Eagle.
