La Route Nationale 7 - Menton - Côte d'Azur - France

Is anybody thirsty before going on to Rome?

 

'Bienfaisance Internationale'

 

'Fontaine de la Frontière'

 

 

The famous 'Nationale 7' synonymous with the way to sunny vacations along the Mediterranean shores for generations of French families following the establishment of statutory summer holidays in 1936.

 

Long, warm days, no more time or job constrains; let's party.
