RN6

RN6, also known as Route nationale 6, is a national road in France. It originally ran from Paris to the Swiss border near Geneva. The route was a significant historical artery, connecting the capital to the Alps and beyond. Over time, sections of RN6 have been reclassified or bypassed by newer highways, most notably the Autoroute A6. Despite these changes, parts of the original RN6 still exist and serve local traffic. The road passed through numerous historic towns and cities, including Auxerre, Dijon, Beaune, and Chalon-sur-Saône, making it a route rich in cultural and architectural heritage. Its evolution reflects the broader development of France's transportation infrastructure, moving from a primary long-distance route to a network of smaller, more localized roads alongside high-speed motorways. The remaining sections of RN6 are still important for regional connectivity and tourism.
