Massif de l'Esterel

[N7] Villeneuve-Loubet 11/06/2017 09h16
An originial icon of the Nationale 7 in Villeneuve-Loubet where the Route Départementale D6007 is named Route Nationale 7. No idea what this used to be in the good old days.
Route Nationale 7
The Route nationale 7, or RN 7, is a trunk road (nationale) in France between Paris and the border with Italy. It was also known as Route des vacances (Vacation Road), Route bleue (Blue Road), and — sarcastically, during the annual rush to the Mediterranean beaches — the Route de la mort (Road of Death).
The Romans under Marcus Agrippa established a network of roads in 20 AD radiating from the then capital of the Gauls at Lugdunum (Lyon), known collectively as Via Agrippa. From Lugdunum the road north passed towards Lutèce (Paris) following roughly the route of current RN 6, and southward towards Rome, skirting the Rhone and passing through Arausio (Orange) and following the edge of the Mediterranean, like the current RN 7.
In the 15th century, with the creation of the royal post by Louis XI, a coherent network of roads was set up. The routes from Paris to Lyon pass through Moulins (route du Bourbonnais) or Dijon (route de Bourgogne). In the next century the first regular use of the road is made and elms were planted along the ways for shade and to mark the route. At that time (1553) the Le Guide des chemins de France ("Guide to the roads of France"), by the royal printer Robert Estienne, the ancestor of all the modern guidebooks, was published.
Length: 1,000 kilometers
Declassifications: D 7, D 607, D 2007, D 907, D 307, D 7n, D N7, D 6007
Northernmost point: Parvis de Notre-Dame Point Zéro à Paris
Extreme South: Menton border with Italy
Régions crossing: Île-de-France, Centre, Bourgogne, Auvergne, Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. (15 départements)

Autoroute A8
The A8 autoroute, also known as La Provençale, is a 224-kilometer-long highway in France that runs between Aix-en-Provence and the A7 to the Côte d'Azur.
The A8 is an extension of the A7 starting to the west of Aix-en-Provence at La Fare-les-Oliviers. The road passes through the Departments of Bouches-du-Rhône, Var and Alpes-Maritimes. It serves the towns of Aix-en-Provence, Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco and Menton before crossing the border where it becomes the A10 in Italy. It crosses the mountain ranges of Sainte-Baume and of Maures between Aix-en-Provence and Fréjus and it Massif de l'Esterel between Saint-Raphaël and Cannes. Following the Grande Corniche the road offers panoramas of the sea between Nice and Menton.
The capacity of this road varies from 2x2 to 2x4 lanes.
The road has heavy traffic all year round and is especially congested in July and August (in particular around Antibes and Nice. As a result, traffic-management schemes have been adopted between Var to Nice-West similar to those on the Péripherique in Paris. The autoroute is regularly closed on the Nice-Menton section as a result of rock falls onto the carriageways. The sections crossing the Maures and L'Esterel mountains are at risk from forest fires in summer.
This autoroute was opened in sections between 1961 to 1976.

The D559 near Agay in between Anthéor and Saint-Raphaël. About 6 kilometers to Saint-Raphaël.
Saint-Raphaël
Saint-Raphaël is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Immediately to the west of Saint-Raphaël lies another, older, town called Fréjus, and together they form an urban agglomeration known as Fréjus Saint-Raphaël. The Var lies in the region called Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, often abbreviated to PACA.
Situated almost entirely on the Esterel Massif, the commune sits on soil of red porphyr, which makes for very picturesque scenes along the coast where the soil and rocks are exposed on cliff faces and rocky shores. Three important and spectacular rocks dominate the seascape: Cap Roux at 360 m, Saint-Pilon at 295 m, and the Rock of Saint-Barthélemy.
