John Silcox in this BBC reportage published 21/01/22 describes a road route from the Mediterranean to Grenoble which follows the tracks of Napoleon.

Napoleon's gravity-defying 325km road

The Route Napoleon gives visitors the chance to put themselves in the boots of the emperor, deep dive into Gallic culture and unlock the beauty of unspoiled natural landscapes.

Beautiful route to travel by car. But that's a long way from the route by foot across the Pyrenees.

Indeed. I chose to post this because the link is with Napoleon Bonaparte in another area other than the one in the Pyrenees.

For more on the Pyrenees route which developed during The Pennisular War see this earlier post.

The route described in the Silkox article was followed by Bonaparte during what is known in French history as The Hundred Days.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
