A fascinating historical route winding its way through the majestic French Alps and the Côte d’Azur, perfect for a memorable road trip. The route follows in the footsteps of the famous military leader, offering spectacular Alpine scenery and picturesque villages. It is well worth stopping off at Grasse, visiting Alexandra David-Néel’s house in Digne-les-Bains – now a museum – and climbing the narrow ramparts of the Citadelle de Sisteron to look out over the route Napoleon took on horseback through the Vallée de la Durance.
