Hotels in Route Napoléon, France

Route Napoléon stretches 325 kilometers from Cannes to Grenoble, following the path Emperor Napoleon took in 1815 after escaping exile. The climate shifts from a warm Mediterranean coast, where you can hike the Gorges du Verdon in spring, to alpine conditions near Grenoble, ideal for skiing at resorts like Les Deux Alpes in winter. Drive this historic road in autumn for crisp air and fewer crowds, or stop in Grasse to tour its perfume factories year-round.
