The road is steeped in nostalgia and romanticism, having been immortalized in Charles Trenet’s song. Lapalisse holds an annual play, Embouteillage, reenacting the famous traffic jams on the RN7. The Poteau Michelin – Menton N7 sign is an exact reproduction of the original, with a Vinsign certificate and luxury postcard included.
The Route Nationale 7, or RN7, is often referred to as the queen among the old French roads.
