    Hiking

    Here officially begins the Napoleon route. If you want to follow in the footsteps of Bonaparte, know that at this precise place, on March 2, 1815, on his return from his exile on the island of Elba, and from what was later called the 100 days, the he Emperor of all French people stopped for lunch under this oak tree north of Grasse. What the caption doesn't say is whether he took a nap or not?

    Still, the place is popular since the tree is still there, and if you're feeling peckish, a snack pizzeria welcomes you.
